Özet
The aim of this study is to determine the artificial intelligence (AI) literacy levels of prospective teachers studying in different disciplines and to examine whether these levels show a significant difference in terms of variables such as gender, department, grade level, and academic achievement. The study, designed using a mixed-methods approach with a focus on quantitative data, included 364 prospective teachers studying at a state university during the 2023-2024 academic year. Data were collected using the “Artificial Intelligence Literacy Scale” and an open-ended questionnaire prepared by the researchers. T-tests, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze quantitative data, while content analysis was used to analyze qualitative data. The results showed that prospective teachers generally have a high level of AI literacy, but the “Usage” dimension was lower compared to the “Ethics” and “Awareness” dimensions. Department-based analyses revealed that candidates in quantitative departments (Mathematics and Science) had significantly higher literacy levels than those in arts and primary school departments. Furthermore, a positive, moderately significant correlation was found between academic achievement (GPA) and AI literacy. Qualitative findings indicated that candidates primarily used artificial intelligence for academic support and content creation. In light of these findings, it is recommended that department-specific AI pedagogy courses be added to the curricula of faculties of education.
