Yapay Zekânın Din Eğitimindeki Rolü: Fırsatlar, Zorluklar ve Geleceğe Yönelik Çıkarımlar

Abstract

Bu araştırma, yapay zekânın (YZ) din eğitimi üzerindeki etkilerini, fırsatlarını ve sınırlılıklarını incelemektedir. YZ, öğrenme deneyimlerini kişiselleştirme, pedagojik yaklaşımları yenilikçi yöntemlerle dönüştürme ve dinî metinlerin daha geniş kitlelere erişimini artırma potansiyeline sahiptir. Bununla birlikte, kutsal metinlerin yanlış yorumlanması, etik sorunlar ve öğretmen-öğrenci ilişkisinin zayıflaması gibi zorluklar da gündeme gelmektedir. Çalışmada, din eğitimi bağlamında YZ'nin sunduğu katkılar teorik ve uygulamalı boyutlarıyla ele alınmış, aynı zamanda bu teknolojinin pedagojik ve etik riskleri değerlendirilmiştir. Literatür taraması yöntemiyle gerçekleştirilen bu araştırma, YZ’nin dinî eğitim süreçlerini modernize etme potansiyeline dikkat çekerken, bu sürecin dikkatle yönetilmesi gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır. Sonuçlar, dinî değerlerin korunması ve teknolojik ilerlemenin dengeli bir şekilde birleştirilmesi gerektiğini ortaya koymaktadır.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Religious Education: Opportunities, Challenges, and Future Implications

Abstract

This paper explores the impacts, opportunities, and limitations of artificial intelligence (AI) in religious education. AI holds the potential to personalize learning experiences, transform pedagogical approaches through innovative methods, and enhance the accessibility of religious texts to broader audiences. However, challenges such as the misinterpretation of sacred texts, ethical concerns, and the weakening of teacher-student relationships also emerge. The study examines the theoretical and practical contributions of AI in the context of religious education while addressing its pedagogical and ethical risks. Conducted through a literature review methodology, this research highlights AI's potential to modernize religious education processes while emphasizing the need for careful integration. The findings underscore the importance of balancing technological advancements with the preservation of religious values.
