The Impact of Educational Software on Literacy Learning in Childhood

There is a global consensus about the need for improvements in literacy teaching and learning. Artificial intelligence and technology can serve as a support system for personalized learning. To address the literacy problem in Chiapas, researchers investigated the impact of a technological tool on literacy learning in children under the age of eight. The results indicate that preschool students perform better when using the application in both classroom and home settings (Group 1) compared to when they use it only at home (Group 2). The elementary students who used the application in the classroom and at home (Group 1) exhibited superior performance compared to the control group (Group 2). Groups 1 and 2 demonstrated comparable performance. The results show that preschool and elementary students who faced more challenges and used the application both in class and at home (Group 1) or only at home (Group 2) developed their reading skills more effectively than what is typical for their grade levels. The results suggest that the integration of artificial intelligence applications has a positive impact on learning, especially when implemented consistently, with the advantage of adapting to users' needs and personalizing learning exercises.
