Resumen

This work-in-progress paper evaluates the impact of AI-based teacher-bots (T-Bots) on student performance in higher education. The study was conducted with undergraduate students who interacted with a T-Bot integrated into their learning environment. Using a Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)-based questionnaire and analysis of academic results, we assessed both the perceived usefulness and the actual improvement in student performance. Preliminary findings indicate that students who actively used the T-Bot demonstrated higher engagement and improved academic outcomes compared to previous cohorts. These results suggest that T-Bots can be effective tools for enhancing learning and performance in university settings. Future work will expand the sample size and further investigate the long-term effects of T-Bot adoption.
