Abstract
This report evaluates the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in fostering the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills in educational contexts. As schools and universities continue integrating digital technologies, AI offers powerful opportunities to create learning environments that are more interactive, adaptive, and student centered to prioritize opportunities of progress in technological environments. The report begins by outlining the foundational principles of AI in education, with an emphasis on how intelligent systems can provide personalized challenges, simulations, and feedback that encourage students to analyze, evaluate, and create solutions rather than simply memorize information. By utilizing methodologies that adjust to a learner's development, artificial intelligence can assist students through increasingly complex tasks promoting deeper reasoning and reflective thinking. The second section of this work presents an overview of the activities completed during the specialization course, highlighting how participants engaged with digital tools such as Genially for interactive images and Google Slides for presentation design. These activities not only enhance students' technical skills but also encourage creativity, collaboration, and the application of critical thinking in practical contexts. Ultimately, this report demonstrates that the integration of artificial intelligence into educational design significantly enhances traditional teaching and learning methods. By embedding AI-driven activities into the curriculum, students are not only equipped with essential 21st-century technical skills, but are also encouraged to develop creativity, engage in meaningful collaboration, and apply critical thinking in practical, real world contexts.
