Designed as a case study, the research aims to understand participants’ experiences with AI-enabled educational tools and their impact on classroom practices. Findings indicate that teachers and parents generally have a positive attitude towards AI applications. Teachers stated that these applications support students’ individual learning processes and enrich their teaching practices. Parents, on the other hand, reported improvements in their children’s academic achievement but expressed some concerns about the increase in screen time. Both teachers and parents emphasized that AI’s capacity to deliver personalized content enhances the quality of learning. Based on the research findings, the article offers recommendations for developing high-quality AI applications, expanding AI literacy training to ensure equity in education, positioning AI as a complementary tool for teachers, and enhancing teachers’ digital competencies in this area. In conclusion, this study shows that we are on the threshold of a learning era in which algorithms, entering the classroom, redefine not only technology but also humanity.}, number={2}, publisher={Özkan ÇELİK}
