Psikolojik Danışmanlar için Yapay Zekâ Destekli Kariyer Psikolojik Danışmanlığı Eğitiminin Öz Yeterlik Düzeylerine Etkisi

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, yapay zekâ destekli kariyer danışmanlığı eğitim programının psikolojik danışmanların kariyer psikolojik danışmanlığı öz-yeterlik düzeyleri üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Araştırmada ön test son test ve izleme testi kontrol gruplu yarı deneysel desen kullanılmış ve veri toplama aracı olarak Kariyer Psikolojik Danışmanlık Öz-Yeterlik Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında deney ve kontrol gruplarına ön test, son test ve izleme testi uygulanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, deney grubunda yer alan psikolojik danışman adaylarının kariyer danışmanlığı öz-yeterlik düzeylerinde anlamlı bir artış gözlemlenmiş; bu artışın izleme testinde de sürdüğü belirlenmiştir. MANOVA ve tekrarlı ölçümler ANOVA analizleri sonucunda, zaman ve grup etkileşiminde yüksek düzeyde etki büyüklüğü bulunmuştur. Yapay zekâ destekli eğitim sürecinde, danışan simülasyonları, kişiselleştirilmiş senaryolar ve dijital geribildirim sistemleri sayesinde danışmanların uygulama becerilerinde gelişim sağlandığı saptanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, yapay zekânın psikolojik danışmanlık eğitimine entegrasyonunun, mesleki yeterliklerin gelişimine katkı sunduğunu göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda, yapay zekâ destekli uygulamaların danışman eğitiminde yaygınlaştırılması ve etik temelli biçimde yapılandırılmasına yönelik önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

The Effect of Artificial Intelligence-Supported Career Psychological Counseling Training for Psychological Counselors on Their Self-Efficacy Levels

Abstract

This study examines the effect of artificial intelligence-supported career counseling training programs on counselors' career counseling self-efficacy levels. The study used a quasi-experimental design with pretest, posttest, and follow-up test control groups and the Career Counseling Self-Efficacy Scale as a data collection tool. Within the scope of the study, pretest, posttest, and follow-up tests were applied to the experimental and control groups. According to the study results, a significant increase was observed in the career counseling self-efficacy levels of the counselor candidates in the experimental group, and this increase was maintained in the follow-up test. As a result of MANOVA and repeated measures ANOVA analyses, a high effect size was found for time and group interaction. During the AI-supported training process, it was determined that the implementation skills of the counselors were improved thanks to client simulations, personalized scenarios, and digital feedback systems. The findings show that integrating artificial intelligence into counseling education contributes to developing professional competencies. In this context, suggestions were made for disseminating artificial intelligence-supported applications in counselor education and structuring them as ethics-based.
