Yapay Zeka Uygulamalarının Kimya Eğitiminde Kullanımı Alternatif Araçlar

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, yapay zekâ (AI) uygulamalarının kimya eğitiminde kullanım alanlarını ve bu alanda var olan uygulamaların örnekler ile kimya eğitiminde nasıl kullanılabileceğini belirlemektir. Çalışma bir alan taraması ve derleme çalışmasıdır. Bu çalışma kapsamında kimya eğitimi alanında kullanılabilecek yapay zekâ uygulamaları belirlenmiştir. Yapay zekâ ile ilgili makaleler veri tabanlarından bulunmuş, eğitimde kullanılan yapay zekâ uygulamaları doküman analizi yöntemi ile incelenmiş ve özellikle kimya eğitiminde kullanılmak üzere geliştirilmiş olan ürünler içerik analizi ile bu çalışma kapsamına alınmıştır. Öğretmenlerimizin ve öğrencilerimizin, 21. yüzyıl becerileri bağlamında önem arz eden eğitim teknolojilerinin doğru ve etkili kullanımı ve dijital okuryazarlık becerilerinin geliştirilmesine destek olunması hedeflenmiştir. Belirlenen yapay zekâ uygulamalarının kimya eğitiminde kullanımına dönük örnekler hazırlanmıştır. Çalışmanın, öğretmen ve öğrencilerin yapay zekâ uygulamaları ve kimya eğitiminde bu uygulamaların nasıl kullanılacağı konusunda yol gösterici bir rolü olacağı düşünülmektedir.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Yapay zekâ (AI), kimya eğitimi, yapay zekâ uygulamaları.
