  • La inteligencia artificial como mediadora del aprendizaje y sus implicaciones en el desarrollo del pensamiento crítico. (2026) · MQRInvestigar · doi

    The paper identifies that AI-mediated learning can strengthen critical thinking when active didactic strategies like problem-based learning and formative feedback are included, yet provides no empirical comparison of which specific pedagogical approaches (problem-based learning vs. case-based learning vs. Socratic questioning) most effectively develop critical thinking alongside AI tools in higher education contexts.
