Introduction: The sociocultural characterization of students includes factors such as ethnicity, language, beliefs, social practices, family environment and other elements that affect their perception of knowledge and technology; for environments to be effective, it is essential to consider the sociocultural characterization of students, since the factors profoundly affect the ability to adapt to new teaching methods.
Objective: To determine the relationship between sociocultural characterization in regular basic education students from high Andean areas and their interaction in educational metaverses.
Methods: A quantitative and correlational approach was adopted with a non-experimental design, focusing on 376 university students who had taken at least one semester in virtual mode. Data collection was done through structured surveys with Likert-type scales to assess the use of AI tools and the level of adaptation of the students.
Results: The results indicated a significant relationship of (r=0.973) and a value of (p=0.000) between the study variables.
Conclusions: It was concluded that AI is key to personalize educational experiences, improving accessibility and interactivity. In addition, the need to avoid over-reliance on AI tools and the importance of fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and real-time feedback to contribute to the continuous improvement of educational environments were highlighted.
