Shaping Future Education: Teacher Assistant Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

This study examines how 'Teacher Assistant Artificial Intelligence' seminars organized for teachers from various branches increased their awareness and knowledge of artificial intelligence technologies. The seminars, which lasted three hours each in four groups, aimed to teach teachers how to use AI tools in lesson planning, material creation, student assessment and motivation enhancement. The study was conducted with 66 teachers using qualitative and quantitative data collection methods.

Pre- and post-seminar questionnaires were used as data collection tools. The pre-seminar survey results showed that the majority of teachers had limited knowledge about AI technologies. The post-seminar questionnaires revealed a significant increase in their awareness and knowledge of these technologies. Teachers expressed positive opinions about the use of AI in lesson planning, material creation and student assessment processes. In addition, there was generally positive feedback about the content of the seminar and the understandability of the presentations.

The study shows that AI trainings contribute to teachers becoming more aware and competent in technology integration. As a result, it was seen that the use of AI technologies in education can provide significant benefits for teachers and students. Educational policies should encourage the integration of these technologies and provide the necessary training and resources for teachers to use these technologies effectively.
