Çalışmada, öğretmen adaylarının eğitim ve öğretim gördükleri bölüm, sınıf düzeyi ve cinsiyete göre yapay zekâ hazırbulunuşluk düzeylerinin değişip değişmediği tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmada, nicel ve nitel araştırmanın birleştirildiği karma yöntemden yararlanılmış; çalışma grubunda ise Türkiye’nin batısında yer alan bir eğitim fakültesinin Türkçe ve Sosyal Bilgiler Eğitimi Bölümü öğrencileri yer almıştır. Çalışmanın nicel verileri, “Öğretmen Adaylarına Yönelik Yapay Zekâ Hazırbulunuşluk Ölçeği” ile elde edilmiş ve veriler SPSS 22 paket programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın nitel kısmında yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile öğretmen adaylarının yapay zekâya yönelik hazırbulunuşluklarına dair veriler elde edilmiş ve bunlar içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Araştırma sonucunda, öğrencilerin genel olarak yapay zekâ kullanımına yönelik orta-üst düzeyde bir hazırbulunuşluk düzeyine sahip oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmanın nitel boyutunda öğretmen adaylarının eğitimde yapay zekâ kullanımına dair doğrudan herhangi bir eğitim almadıkları, farklı derslerde bilgi sahibi oldukları ve özellikle bireysel çabaları ile yapay zekâ alanını keşfetme ve bu alandan ellerinden geldiğince faydalanma çabalarının bulunduğuna dair bir kısım veriler elde edilmiştir.</p></abstract>

                            <p>The purpose of this study is to examine the readiness levels of teacher candidates in the context of accessing and using artificial intelligence technology, which is developing at a pace that is quite difficult to keep up with today. Within the framework of the stated purpose, the study determined whether the readiness levels of teacher candidates for artificial intelligence varied according to the department in which they received their education and training, their grade level, and their gender. The study utilized a mixed method combining quantitative and qualitative research; the study group consisted of students from the Turkish Language and Social Studies Education Department of an education faculty located in western Turkey. The quantitative data of the study were obtained using the “Artificial Intelligence Readiness Scale for Teacher Candidates” and analyzed using the SPSS 22 software package. In the qualitative part of the research, data on teacher candidates&#039; readiness for artificial intelligence were obtained using a semi-structured interview form and subjected to content analysis. The results of the study revealed that students generally had a medium-high level of readiness for the use of artificial intelligence. In the qualitative dimension of the study, some data was obtained indicating that teacher candidates did not receive any direct training on the use of artificial intelligence in education, that they had knowledge in different courses, and that they made efforts to explore the field of artificial intelligence and benefit from it as much as possible, especially through their individual efforts.                   Keywords: Artificial intelligence, readiness, social studies, teacher candidate, Turkish.</p></trans-abstract>
