Determination of artificial intelligence literacy and attitudes towards artificial intelligence of teachers working with gifted students and examining them according to some variables

Abstract

This research aimed to determine the level of artificial intelligence literacy and attitudes towards artificial intelligence of teachers working with gifted students and to examine the results according to some variables. The study was conducted with the participation of 107 science and art center (BİLSEM) teachers selected by convenience sampling method. Data were collected using the Artificial Intelligence Literacy Scale and the General Attitude Towards Artificial Intelligence Scale. The findings show that teachers generally have high levels of artificial intelligence literacy and attitudes towards artificial intelligence. In gender comparisons, it was found that male teachers had higher AI literacy and attitudes than female teachers. Other variables such as age, professional experience, working time in BİLSEM, education level and branch did not have a significant effect on artificial intelligence literacy and attitude. As a result, it was observed that the knowledge and attitudes of teachers working with gifted students towards artificial intelligence were generally positive, but there were gender differences. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers' access to artificial intelligence training and professional development opportunities should be increased and especially female teachers' knowledge and attitudes towards technology should be improved.
