AB  - Bu çalışma, ortaokul öğrencilerinin yapay zekâ (YZ) farkındalığı ve kullanım eğilimlerini ölçmek amacıyla dört boyutlu bir ölçek geliştirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Ortaokul Yapay Zekâ Farkındalık ve Kullanım Eğilimleri Ölçeği (YZFKÖ), YZ Temel Bilgi, YZ Kullanım Alanları, YZ Kaygı ve YZ Zorlanma olmak üzere dört boyuttan oluşmaktadır.Ölçeğin geliştirme sürecinde literatür taraması, uzman görüşleri, pilot uygulama, Açıklayıcı Faktör Analizi (AFA) ve Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi (DFA) gerçekleştirilmiştir. AFA ve DFA sonuçları, dört faktörlü yapının toplam varyansın %52,05'ini açıkladığını ve uyum iyiliği indekslerinin kabul edilebilir düzeyde olduğunu göstermiştir (KMO = ,924; χ²/df = 2,057; CFI = ,935; RMSEA = ,043).Cronbach Alfa katsayısı tüm ölçek için α = ,870 olarak belirlenmiş, alt boyutlar için ise α değerlerinin ,743 ile ,914 arasında değiştiği görülmüştür. Bu bulgular, ölçeğin geçerli, güvenilir ve tutarlı bir ölçüm aracı olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.Bu çalışmada geliştirilen ölçek, öğretmenler, eğitim programı geliştiricileri ve eğitim politikacıları için öğrencilerin YZ farkındalık ve kullanım eğilimlerini ölçmede geçerli ve güvenilir bir araç sunmaktadır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Yapay zekâ farkındalığı, Yapay zekâ kullanım eğilimleri, Ortaokul, Ölçek geliştirme, Eğitimde yapay zekâ

N2  - This study aimed to develop a four-dimensional scale to measure middle school students' awareness of and tendencies toward artificial intelligence (AI). The Middle School Artificial Intelligence Awareness and Usage Tendency Scale (YZFKÖ) consists of four dimensions: Basic AI Knowledge, AI Usage Areas, AI Anxiety, and AI Challenges.The study was conducted using literature review, expert opinions, pilot application, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The EFA and CFA results revealed that the four-factor structure explained 52.05% of the total variance and that the goodness-of-fit indices were at an acceptable level (KMO = .924; χ²/df = 2.057; CFI = .935; RMSEA = .043).The Cronbach Alpha coefficient was determined as α = .870 for the entire scale, and the sub-dimensions ranged between α = .743 and α = .914. These findings indicate that the scale is a valid, reliable, and consistent measurement tool.The developed scale provides teachers, curriculum developers, and education policymakers with a valid and reliable tool for measuring students' levels of AI awareness and usage tendencies.
