Abstract

The present study aimed to analyze the relationship between self-perceived teaching competencies and perceptions of artificial intelligence among teachers in bilingual educational institutions in the Ecuadorian Amazon. It was conducted under a quantitative approach, with a non-experimental design and a descriptive-correlational scope. Data collection was carried out using the Self-Perceived Teaching Competencies Scale (ECAD-EP) and the Questionnaire on Teachers’ Perceptions and Challenges Regarding Artificial Intelligence in Active Methodologies (CPD-IA), administered to a sample of 90 teachers. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed and, after verifying data normality, parametric inferential tests were applied to examine relationships and differences between variables. The results showed positive and statistically significant correlations between variables, with low to moderate effect sizes. The instructional dimension presented the strongest associations with procedural knowledge, critical knowledge, and digital literacy, whereas the socio-emotional dimension showed the weakest correlations. A gap was identified between access to technological resources and training in artificial intelligence; most teachers have access to devices and internet connectivity, but their training in this area remains limited. Less experienced teachers demonstrated a greater willingness to use artificial intelligence in educational contexts. The findings confirm that the relationship between teaching competencies and perceptions of artificial intelligence is significant and depends on the level of training in this area.
