Chatbots have emerged as an important development in the field of human-computer interaction in recent years. Designed using natural language processing and machine learning technologies, these artificial intelligence-based programs can understand users' questions and requests and respond instantly. Chatbots, which are used in various fields ranging from education to customer service and healthcare to sales and marketing, offer important opportunities in education such as learning management, personalized learning, learning support. However, there are a number of limitations in the use of this technology. For example, an inability to interact as real people would, the risk of providing false information, ethical issues, and an inability to provide a personalized learning experience. Therefore, more research and development studies are needed for the effective use of chatbots in education. Within the scope of this study, pre-service teachers' views on the use of chatbots in education were examined. In this direction, the participant group of the research, which was conducted at a state university in the fall semester of 2022-2023, consisted of 41 pre-service teachers studying in the Department of English Language Teaching and the Mathematics Education who attended the Instructional Technologies course. In the study, data were collected with a data collection tool consisting of two parts. The participants saw the advantages of chatbots, such as timesaving and providing different information. However, negativities such as utilizing unexpected sources were also emphasized. In general, most of the pre-service teachers found chatbots successful in terms of language and content. The pre-service teachers stated that chatbots will be widely used in education in the future and that they will direct their students to this technology. In conclusion, for chatbots to be used effectively in education, they need to be designed in accordance with student needs, provide accurate and up-to-date information, offer personalized learning experiences, and be supported by educational experts. In this way, chatbots can become a more effective tool in education.

Chatbotlar, insan-bilgisayar etkileşimi alanında son yıllarda önemli bir gelişme olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Doğal dil işleme ve makine öğrenimi teknolojileri kullanılarak tasarlanan bu yapay zekâ tabanlı programlar, kullanıcıların sorularını ve isteklerini anlayarak anında yanıt verebilmektedirler. Eğitimden müşteri hizmetlerine, sağlık hizmetlerinden satış ve pazarlamaya kadar çeşitli alanlarda kullanılan Chatbotlar; öğrenim yönetimi, kişiselleştirilmiş öğrenme, öğrenme desteği gibi eğitimde önemli olanaklar sunmaktadır. Ancak, bu teknolojinin kullanımında bazı sınırlılıklar da mevcuttur. Örneğin, gerçek insanlar gibi etkileşim kuramamaları, yanlış bilgi sunma riski, etik sorunlar ve kişiselleştirilmiş öğrenme deneyimi sunma konusunda yetersizlikler gibi. Bu nedenle, Chatbotların eğitimde etkili bir şekilde kullanılabilmesi için daha fazla araştırma ve geliştirme çalışması gerekmektedir. Bu araştırma kapsamında, öğretmen adaylarının Chatbotların eğitimde kullanımına yönelik görüşleri incelenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda 2022-2023 güz döneminde bir devlet üniversitesinde gerçekleştirilen araştırmanın katılımcı grubunu Öğretim Teknolojileri dersine katılan İngiliz Dili Eğitimi Anabilim Dalı’nda ve Matematik Eğitimi Anabilim Dalı’nda öğrenim gören 41 öğretmen adayı oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada iki bölümden oluşan bir veri toplama aracı ile veriler toplanmıştır. Katılımcılar, Chatbotların zamandan tasarruf sağlama ve farklı bilgi sunma gibi avantajlarını görmüşlerdir. Ancak, beklenmeyen kaynaklardan yararlanma gibi olumsuzluklar da vurgulanmıştır. Genel olarak, öğretmen adaylarının çoğu Chatbotları dil ve içerik açısından başarılı bulmuşlardır. Öğretmen adayları, Chatbotların gelecekte eğitimde yaygın olarak kullanılacağını ve öğrencilerini bu teknolojiye yönlendireceklerini belirtmişlerdir. Sonuç olarak, Chatbotların eğitimde etkili bir şekilde kullanılabilmesi için öğrenci ihtiyaçlarına uygun olarak tasarlanmaları, doğru ve güncel bilgiler sunmaları, kişiselleştirilmiş öğrenme deneyimleri sunmaları ve eğitim uzmanları tarafından desteklenmeleri gerekmektedir. Bu şekilde, Chatbotlar eğitimde daha etkili bir araç haline gelebilirler.
