Abstract

Educational environments should implement the new technological models present in society. Among these, Artificial Intelligence (AI), for its pedagogical use and from the training of future teachers, who will teach these tools to the new generations. Therefore, the object of this work is to develop educational practices with student teachers to acquire basic skills in the understanding, practice and ethical use of AI.

This research presents an experience developed in a matter in Primary Education Degree where students have created interactive narratives using the Twine tool, as well as generative AI to enrich their stories. The data analysis focuses on examining the 10 stories created by the different working groups, as well as the creation process and the responses obtained to the final questionnaires, where we can understand the possibilities offered by AI, as well as the learning acquired by the students.

In conclusion, AI is being introduced in educational environments, therefore, training teachers will enable them to enhance their teaching and technological skills so that the teaching-learning process with their future students is meaningful and constructive.
