A SWOT Analysis of Artificial Intelligence in Music Education within the Framework of the Century of Türkiye Education Model

Öz

The aim of this study is to examine the integration of artificial intelli-gence (AI) into music education within the framework of the Century of Türkiye Education Model (CTEM) and to identify its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) based on current literature and national policy documents. The analysis primarily draws on the Common Text of Curricula of the CTEM, which outlines the model’s general principles. The study employed document analysis as the data collection method. Official documents published by the Ministry of National Education, along with academic studies published between 2023 and 2025 that directly address the use of AI in education in general or music education in particular, were examined. The findings of the SWOT analysis indicate that AI-supported music education is largely compatible with the vision of the CTEM. Strengths include personalized learning experiences, support for student creativity, the development of digital competencies, and the reduction of teachers’ workload. Opportunities include enriching hybrid and online lear-ning models, fostering global collaboration, and supporting lifelong learning. In contrast, technological infrastructure deficiencies, inequalities in access, reduced human interaction, superficial learning, data privacy concerns, and uncertainties regarding copyright emerge as weaknesses and threats. In conclusion, while the integration of AI into music education offers opportu-nities to reinforce the value-based and inclusive vision of the CTEM, it also entails ethical, pedagogical, and technological challenges that require care-ful management. By addressing the potential contributions and risks of AI in music education from a multidimensional perspective, this study provides a balanced evaluation of how the CTEM may engage with the requirements of the digital age.

Türkiye Yüzyılı Maarif Modeli Kapsamında Müzik Eğitiminde Yapay Zekâ Kullanımına Yönelik SWOT Analizi

Öz

Bu araştırmanın temel amacı, Türkiye Yüzyılı Maarif Modeli (TYMM) kapsamında müzik eğitiminde yapay zekâ kullanımına yönelik mevcut du-rumu analiz ederek, bu alandaki güçlü ve zayıf yönleri, karşılaşılan fırsatları ve olası tehditleri mevcut literatür ve ulusal politika belgeleri çerçevesinde ortaya koymaktır. Bu bağlamda Türkiye Yüzyılı Maarif Modeli’nin Öğretim Programları Ortak Metni esas alınmış; çözümlemeler, söz konusu metinde belirtilen genel ilkeler doğrultusunda gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak doküman incelemesi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Millî Eği-tim Bakanlığı’nın resmî belgeleri ile 2023–2025 yılları arasında yayımlanmış, doğrudan eğitimde veya özelde müzik eğitiminde yapay zekâ kullanımını ele alan akademik çalışmalar incelenmiştir. SWOT analizi bulguları, yapay zekâ tabanlı müzik eğitiminin TYMM’nin vizyonu ile yüksek düzeyde uyum gösterdiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Güçlü yönler arasında kişiselleştirilmiş öğ-renme deneyimleri, öğrencilerin yaratıcılıklarını destekleme, dijital yetkinlik-lerin geliştirilmesi ve öğretmenlerin iş yükünü azaltma kapasitesi yer almak-tadır. Fırsatlar ise hibrit ve çevrimiçi öğrenme modellerini zenginleştirme, küresel işbirliklerini güçlendirme ve yaşam boyu öğrenmeyi destekleme po-tansiyelini içermektedir. Bununla birlikte, teknolojik altyapı eksiklikleri, eri-şim eşitsizlikleri, insan etkileşiminin azalması, yüzeysel bilgi sağlama, veri gizliliği kaygıları ve telif haklarına ilişkin belirsizlikler zayıf yönler ve tehdit-ler olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, yapay zekânın müzik eğitimine entegrasyonu, TYMM’nin değer temelli ve kapsayıcı eğitim vizyonunu des-tekleyebilecek fırsatlar sunarken; aynı zamanda dikkatle yönetilmesi gereken etik, pedagojik ve teknolojik sınırlılıkları da beraberinde getirmektedir. Araş-tırma, yapay zekânın müzik eğitimi bağlamındaki olası katkı ve risklerini çok boyutlu biçimde ele alarak, TYMM’nin dijital çağın gereklerine uyum sağlama sürecine ilişkin dengeli bir değerlendirme sunmaktadır.
