Öğretmen Adaylarının Yapay Zekaya Karşı Tutumları, Yapay Zekayı Kullanma Becerileri ve Mesleki Algıları

Abstract

Bu çalışma, öğretmen adaylarının yapay zekaya (YZ) yönelik tutumlarını, YZ kullanımındaki yeterliliklerini ve YZ’nin eğitim üzerindeki etkilerine ilişkin görüşlerini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Nitel ve nicel verilerin eşzamanlı olarak toplandığı yakınsak bir tasarım kullanılarak karma yöntem yaklaşımı uygulanmıştır. Nicel veriler, Türkiye’deki bir devlet üniversitesinde öğrenim gören 432 öğretmen adayından, geçerliliği kanıtlanmış tutum ve yeterlilik ölçekleri aracılığıyla elde edilmiştir. Nitel veriler, açık uçlu sorular yoluyla toplanmış ve içerik analizi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular, YZ’ye yönelik tutumlar ile YZ kullanım yeterlilikleri arasında anlamlı bir pozitif ilişki olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Cinsiyet ve bölüm bazında anlamlı farklılıklar bulunurken, sınıf seviyeleri arasında herhangi bir farklılık gözlemlenmemiştir. Nitel bulgular, öğretmen adaylarının YZ’yi öğretim verimliliğini artıran destekleyici bir araç olarak algıladıklarını ancak aşırı bağımlılık, etik sorunlar ve eleştirel düşünme üzerindeki potansiyel olumsuz etkiler konusunda endişelerini dile getirdiklerini göstermiştir. Sonuçlar, öğretmen eğitimi programlarının YZ ile ilgili yetkinliklerle uyumlu hale getirilmesi gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır. YZ odaklı pedagojik ve etik eğitimin, öğretmen eğitimi müfredatına ve yükseköğretim politikalarına sistematik olarak entegre edilmesi önerilmektedir.

Prospective Teachers' Attitudes Toward Artificial Intelligence, Their Competence in Using It, And Their Professional Perceptions

Abstract

This study aims to examine pre-service teachers’ attitudes toward artificial intelligence (AI), their competencies in using AI, and their views on its educational implications. The study adopted a convergent mixed-methods design, where quantitative and qualitative data were gathered at the same time. The quantitative component included 432 pre-service teachers from a state university in Türkiye and was conducted using validated scales measuring attitudes and competencies. For the qualitative component, participants responded to open-ended questions, and their answers were examined through content analysis. The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between attitudes toward AI and AI usage competencies. Significant differences were found by gender and department, whereas no differences were observed across grade levels. Qualitative findings indicated that pre-service teachers perceive AI as a supportive tool that enhances instructional efficiency, while also expressing concerns about overreliance, ethical issues, and potential negative effects on critical thinking. The findings highlight the need to align teacher education programs with AI-related competencies. It is recommended that AI-focused pedagogical and ethical training be systematically integrated into teacher education curricula and higher education policies.
