Abstract

This article presents a didactic model to facilitate the development of critical competence in university students through the use of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) chatbot tools. It is theoretically based on contemporary definitions of critical thinking, its learning process and effective teaching strategies. The model is configured by six dimensions that students have to develop in the completion of AI-supported learning tasks: Interrogation, Comparison, Critical Dialogue, Verification, PersonalRe-elaboration and Reflection. An example of its implementation is presented in a case developed at the University of La Laguna (Spain). For its analysis, the proposed learning tasks are described and data on the opinion of the participating students was collected through a questionnaire of closed and open questions. It is concluded that the proposed model offers a structured guide for the critical use of AI by students in the execution of learning tasks and it is suggested to obtain further empirical evidence of its performance by implementing it in new university contexts.
