Identifying and Developing Teachers' Competencies in Artificial Intelligence-Supported Education

Öz

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can assist teachers in various areas such as monitoring student performance, creating personalized learning environments, and optimizing teaching materials. This study aims to determine the most critical competencies that teachers should possess regarding the use of AI in education. The research was conducted with 14 Romani and Turk scientists whose academic interests include AI. The data were collected using the Storage technique, which allowed the participants to share information without being influenced by each other's views. The findings were analyzed using content analysis and categorized under six main themes: educational planning and content development, AI utilization and integration, assessment and decision-making, student-focused strategies and personalization, technology and resource usage, and collaboration and teamwork. The results suggest that teacher competencies in AI usage are multifaceted, covering a wide range of areas including educational technology, personalization, assessment, and collaboration. These competencies are crucial for teachers to enhance their professional development and provide more effective education to students. The study offers several recommendations, including restructuring teacher education programs to integrate AI, increasing opportunities for continuous professional development, and facilitating access to digital tools and resources.

Yapay Zeka Destekli Eğitimde Öğretmenlerin Yeterliliklerinin Belirlenmesi ve Geliştirilmesi

Öz

Yapay Zeka (YZ) öğretmenlere öğrenci performansını izleme, kişiselleştirilmiş öğrenme ortamları oluşturma ve öğretim materyallerini optimize etme gibi çeşitli alanlarda yardımcı olabilir. Bu çalışma, öğretmenlerin eğitimde YZ kullanımıyla ilgili sahip olması gereken en kritik yetkinlikleri belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma, akademik ilgi alanları arasında YZ olan 14 Roman ve Türk bilim insanı ile gerçekleştirildi. Veriler, katılımcıların birbirlerinin görüşlerinden etkilenmeden bilgi paylaşabilmelerini sağlayan Depolama tekniği kullanılarak toplandı. Bulgular içerik analizi kullanılarak analiz edildi ve altı ana tema altında kategorize edildi: eğitim planlama ve içerik geliştirme, YZ kullanımı ve entegrasyonu, değerlendirme ve karar verme, öğrenci odaklı stratejiler ve kişiselleştirme, teknoloji ve kaynak kullanımı, işbirliği ve takım çalışması. Sonuçlar, öğretmenlerin YZ kullanımındaki yetkinliklerinin çok yönlü olduğunu ve eğitim teknolojisi, kişiselleştirme, değerlendirme ve işbirliği gibi çok çeşitli alanları kapsadığını göstermektedir. Bu yetkinlikler, öğretmenlerin mesleki gelişimlerini artırmaları ve öğrencilere daha etkili bir eğitim sunmaları için çok önemlidir. Çalışma, YZ'yi entegre etmek için öğretmen eğitimi programlarının yeniden yapılandırılması, sürekli mesleki gelişim fırsatlarının artırılması ve dijital araç ve kaynaklara erişimin kolaylaştırılması gibi çeşitli öneriler sunmaktadır.
