Data mining and artificial intelligence studies in the field of education in Turkey

Abstract

Data mining and artificial intelligence techniques are applied in the field of education as well as in many areas and offer innovations in education and training activities. With the widespread use of data mining and artificial intelligence in education, scientific research has been carried out on these issues. The aim of this study to examine studies on educational data mining and artificial intelligence use and to identify trends in this field. In this context, a literature review was made and the data were analyzed by descriptive analysis method. In order to determine the articles to be used in the study, researches were conducted with keywords such as education, data mining, educational data mining, learning analytics, artificial intelligence, intelligent learning systems, and adaptive learning environments in TR Index, Dergipark and Google Scholar searchs and indexing engines and full text articles on the subject were examined. As a result of the searches, a total of 112 articles were included in the study and these articles were analyzed within the framework of the Article Review Form.

Keywords

• Artificial intelligence in education
• Adaptive learning environments
• Intelligent learning environments
• Educational data mining
• Learning analytics

Türkiye’de eğitim alanında yapılan veri madenciliği ve yapay zeka çalışmaları

Abstract

Veri madenciliği ve yapay Zekâ teknikleri birçok alanda olduğu gibi eğitim alanında da uygulanmakta ve eğitim-öğretim faaliyetlerinde yenilikler sunmaktadır. Veri madenciliğinin ve yapay Zekânın eğitimde kullanımının yaygınlaşmasıyla birlikte bilimsel araştırmalar da yapılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’de yapılan ve eğitimde veri madenciliği ve yapay Zekâ kullanımını ele alan çalışmaları incelemek ve bu konudaki eğilimleri tespit etmektir. Bu doğrultuda alanyazın taraması yapılmış ve veriler betimsel analizi yöntem ile analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada kullanılacak makaleleri belirlemek amacıyla TR Dizin, Dergipark ve Google Akademik tarama ve indeksleme motorlarında; eğitim, veri madenciliği, eğitsel veri madenciliği, öğrenme analitikleri, yapay zekâ, zeki öğrenme sistemleri, uyarlanabilir öğrenme ortamları gibi anahtar kelimeler temel alınarak taramalar yapılmış ve konuyla ilgili tam metin olarak ulaşılan makaleler incelemeye alınmıştır. Yapılan taramalar neticesinde toplam 112 adet makale çalışmaya dahil edilmiş ve bu makaleler, hazırlanan makale inceleme formu çerçevesinde analiz edilmiştir.
