Abstract

This study investigates the perspectives of young researchers employed in higher educational institutions in Istanbul regarding the future use of ChatGPT. Qualitative research methodology was used in this study. To gather information, in-depth interviews were conducted with 20 young researchers from the fields of science and engineering, social sciences, and health sciences. The obtained data was analyzed using thematic analysis, which uncovered five main themes: future expectations, ethical practices, integration of ChatGPT into education and research, future concerns arising from ChatGPT, and benefits achieved from ChatGPT usage. The findings indicate that the employment of ChatGPT will be unavoidable in the future, and the discussion emphasizes the necessary steps for fostering its utilization. These steps are presented in a process framework. The process framework focuses on what actions to take and how to implement them. Accordingly, it has been identified that both students and academics need to be trained on the ethical and effective use of ChatGPT. After these trainings, ChatGPT should be integrated into education and teaching with various usage guides and application instructions. This research offers valuable insights into what can be done to promote the ethical, effective, and proper utilization of AI tools like ChatGPT in higher education.

Abstract

Bu çalışma, İstanbul’daki Yükseköğretim kurumlarında çalışan genç araştırmacıların ChatGPT’nin gelecekteki kullanımına ilişkin görüşlerini araştırmaktadır. Bu çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Veri toplamak üzere fen bilimleri, sosyal bilimler ve sağlık bilimleri alanından faaliyet gösteren 20 genç araştırmacıyla derinlemesine görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler, tematik analiz yöntemi ile analiz edilmiş ve beş ana tema ortaya çıkmıştır. Bunlar: Gelecek beklentileri, etik uygulamalar, ChatGPT’nin eğitim ve araştırmaya entegrasyonu, ChatGPT’den kaynaklanan gelecekteki endişeler ve ChatGPT kullanımından elde edilen faydalardır. Bulgular, ChatGPT’nin gelecekte kullanımının kaçınılmaz olacağını göstermekte ve kullanımını teşvik etmek için gerekli adımları vurgulamaktadır. Bu adımlar bir süreç çerçevesinde sunulmaktadır. Süreç çerçevesinde ne yapmalıyız ve nasıl yapmalıyız sorularına odaklanılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda ChatGPT’nin etik ve etkili kullanılması hakkında hem öğrencilere hem de akademisyenlere eğitim verilmesi gerektiği görülmüştür. Bu eğitimlerden sonra ChatGPT’nin eğitim ve öğretime çeşitli kullanım rehberleri ve uygulama yönergeleri ile entegre edilmesi gerekmektedir. Sonuç olarak bu araştırma, ChatGPT gibi yapay zeka araçlarının Yükseköğretimde etik, etkili ve uygun şekilde kullanımını teşvik etmek için neler yapılabileceğine dair değerli görüşler sunmaktadır.
