Abstract:

 This article examines the possible relationships between the teaching profession and artificial intelligence. We are experiencing an era in which artificial intelligence technologies that can exhibit teacher-like or learner-like intelligence are important applications in education. The effects of the transformation brought by the age of artificial intelligence in the education process and the role of teachers were examined in this study using the literature review method. Leaving aside the concerns of whether artificial intelligence is replacing teachers in society; it is aimed to highlight the opportunities that artificial intelligence has brought. In this context, artificial intelligence has threats as well as opportunities for the teaching profession. According to the research findings, the pedagogical contributions of artificial intelligence tools and digital literacy skills have come to the fore in the pre-service and in-service continuous education planning of teachers. In addition, it is seen that teachers who can adapt to change, are flexible, agile and have high self-leadership capacity; and can manage themselves, their classes and artificial intelligence tools can come to the fore. In line with these results, it is recommended that teachers be strengthened with in-service support and pre-service teacher candidates be equipped with skills appropriate to the era. As in all situations of change and uncertainty, ensuring teacher effectiveness in the face of technological developments will indirectly contribute to the maintenance of teacher happiness. In an education system prepared according to these predictions, it can be said that artificial intelligence can be seen as a supportive, complementary component rather than a threat.

 Bu makale yapay zeka YZ ve öğretmenlik mesleği arasındaki ilişkiyi tartışmaktadır. Yapay zeka YZ, makinelerin insan benzeri zeka sergileme yeteneğidir ve eğitim, öğretim ve öğrenme de dahil olmak üzere çeşitli uygulamaları vardır. YZ, sınırlı kaynaklarla durumlara uyum sağlayan ve insan zekasını taklit etmeyi amaçlayan akıllı makineler oluşturmayı içerir. Bilgisayarla görme, konuşma tanıma, makine öğrenimi, büyük veri ve doğal dil işleme gibi teknolojileri kapsar. Öğretmenlik mesleği, örgün eğitim yoluyla başkalarını etkilemeyi ve eğitmeyi ve etik standartlara bağlı kalmayı içerir. Etkili öğretmenler toplumsal ortak amaç ile değişim ajansı becerilerini birleştirir ve mesleki bilgi ve öğretim planlaması gibi niteliklere sahiptir. Öğrencilere ilham veren rol modellerdir. Birçok kişi yapay zekanın insan öğretmenlerin yerini alacağından korkarken, makale yapay zekanın eğitime getirdiği fırsatları vurguluyor. Dijital çağın öğretim üzerindeki etkilerini ve öğretmenlerin bu değişikliklere nasıl uyum sağlayabileceğini araştırıyor. İnceleme, YZnin etkili bir şekilde kullanılmasında öğretmen eğitiminin, bilgisinin ve yeterliliklerinin önemini vurgulamaktadır. Ayrıca, öğretmenlerin dijital becerilere sahip olması ve sınıfta teknolojiyi kullanması gerektiğinin de altını çiziyor. Makale, öğrenci çeşitliliği, öğrenme yöntemleri, öğretmen eğitimi ve öğretmenlerin YZnin pedagojik katkılarını anlama ihtiyacı dahil olmak üzere dijital çağın getirdiği değişiklikleri kabul etmektedir. Makale, öğretmenleri desteklemek için eğitim programları, sürekli destek, esnek öğretim stratejileri, işbirliği, destek sistemleri ve öz liderliğin önemini önermektedir. Genel olarak makale, YZnin öğretim üzerindeki olumlu etkisini, öğretmenlerin öğrenci gelişimini teşvik etmedeki önemini ve dolayısıyla öğretmen mutluluğunu vurgulamaktadır.
