TY - JOUR T1 - Thematic Modeling of Preservice Mathematics Teachers’ Reflections on ChatGPT Use: Appraisals, Ethical Challenges and Aspirations TT - Matematik Öğretmen Adaylarının ChatGPT Kullanımına İlişkin Algılarının Tematik Modellenmesi: Değerlendirmeler, Etik Zorluklar ve Beklentiler AU - Kaplan, Orhan PY - 2024 DA - June Y2 - 2024 DO - 10.17984/adyuebd.1463794 JF - Adıyaman University Journal of Educational Sciences JO - ADYUEBD PB - Adıyaman Üniversitesi WT - DergiPark SN - 2149-2727 SP - 21 EP - 35 VL - 14 IS - 1 LA - en AB - The global proliferation of generative AI is being debated because of its implication on education. Despite rapid adoption of ChatGPT-3.5 in educational settings, research is scarce as educators and institutions are not fully prepared to face the potential unforeseen and long-term consequences of ChatGPT on student learning dispositions. This study explored pre-service mathematics teachers' experiences with ChatGPT and their perceptions regarding its affordances, ethical issues, and potential uses in education and future teaching. Using a convenience sampling, 25 second- and third-year pre-service mathematics teachers (22 female and 3 male) participated in the study. Qualitative data were collected from semi-structured online interview forms and a subsequent focus group discussion, which were analyzed using thematic analysis methodology. A perceptual model of ChatGPT adoption (PMCA) including five main themes were developed: familiarity with ChatGPT, positive appraisals, dissatisfactory experiences and ethical concerns, aspirations to use in mathematics teacher education, and aspirations to use for prospective teaching. The research results showed that teacher candidates found using ChatGPT in their education useful, but they also expressed their concerns about the difficulties and ethics of using ChatGPT. This study aims to provide empirical evidence for educators, policy makers, and future research to contribute to the current conversations about AI in teacher education programmes. KW - Artificial intelligence KW - Teacher education KW - Ethics KW - Thematic analysis N2 - Üretken yapay zekanın küresel yayılımı, eğitim üzerindeki etkisi açısından tartışılmaktadır. ChatGPT'nin eğitim ortamlarında hızla benimsenmesine rağmen, araştırmaların azlığından dolayı eğitimciler ve kurumlar ChatGPT'nin öğrenci öğrenme eğilimi üzerindeki potansiyel öngörülemeyen ve uzun vadeli sonuçlarıyla yüzleşmeye tam olarak hazır değillerdir. Bu çalışmada, matematik öğretmen adaylarının ChatGPT ile ilgili deneyimleri, ChatGPT'nin faydaları, etik sorunları ve eğitimde ve gelecekteki öğretimde potansiyel kullanımlarına ilişkin algıları incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmanın katılımcıları ikinci ve üçüncü yılındaki 25 matematik öğretmen adayıdır (22 kadın ve 3 erkek). Nitel veriler, yarı yapılandırılmış çevrimiçi görüşme formları ve bunu takip eden odak grup tartışması yoluyla toplanmış ve tematik analiz metodolojisi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. ChatGPT'nin benimsenmesi için beş ana temayı içeren bir algısal model geliştirilmiştir: ChatGPT'ye aşinalık, olumlu değerlendirmeler, tatmin edici olmayan deneyimler ve etik kaygılar, matematik öğretmenliği eğitiminde kullanma istekleri ve gelecekteki öğretimlerinde kullanma istekleri. ChatGPT öğretmen adayları için faydalı olarak görülmüş, ancak zorluklar ve etik endişeler dile getirilmiş ve bulguların çıkarımları tartışılmıştır. Bu keşifsel çalışma, eğitimciler, eğitim politika yapıcıları ve gelecekteki araştırmalar için öğretmen eğitimi programlarında yapay zeka ile ilgili mevcut tartışmalara ampirik kanıt sağlayarak katkıda bulunmayı arzulamaktadır.
