PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS' VIEWS ON AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BASED TEXT GENERATOR
Abstract
Chatbots have emerged as an important development in the field of human-computer interaction in recent years. Designed using natural language processing and machine learning technologies, these artificial intelligence-based programs can understand users' questions and requests and respond instantly. Chatbots, which are used in various fields ranging from education to customer service and healthcare to sales and marketing, offer important opportunities in education such as learning management, personalized learning, learning support. However, there are a number of limitations in the use of this technology. For example, an inability to interact as real people would, the risk of providing false information, ethical issues, and an inability to provide a personalized learning experience. Therefore, more research and development studies are needed for the effective use of chatbots in education. Within the scope of this study, pre-service teachers' views on the use of chatbots in education were examined. In this direction, the participant group of the research, which was conducted at a state university in the fall semester of 2022-2023, consisted of 41 pre-service teachers studying in the Department of English Language Teaching and the Mathematics Education who attended the Instructional Technologies course. In the study, data were collected with a data collection tool consisting of two parts. The participants saw the advantages of chatbots, such as timesaving and providing different information. However, negativities such as utilizing unexpected sources were also emphasized. In general, most of the pre-service teachers found chatbots successful in terms of language and content. The pre-service teachers stated that chatbots will be widely used in education in the future and that they will direct their students to this technology. In conclusion, for chatbots to be used effectively in education, they need to be designed in accordance with student needs, provide accurate and up-to-date information, offer personalized learning experiences, and be supported by educational experts. In this way, chatbots can become a more effective tool in education.
