Abstract

The proposed theme reports on the significance of educational technologies as a potentializer in the learning process. The problem of this research project is to present ways in which through the application of AI artificial intelligence as a resource for motivation and improvement of learning in basic education through digital technologies (TICs), aiming to analyze through literature research digital technologies that promote student motivation and serious games can be a stimulus in the learning process, and finally, identify the prospects of learning with respect to the resources of digital technology methodologies used in basic education.
