Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the artificial intelligence literacy and mathematics literacy self-efficacy perceptions of preservice elementary mathematics teachers and to explore the relationship between their perceptions of these two types of literacy. For this purpose, a descriptive and correlational survey model was used. The participants of the research consisted of 203 preservice elementary mathematics teachers studying in the elementary mathematics education program at the Faculty of Education in public universities in Denizli, Edirne, and İzmir during the 2024-2025 academic year. The data collection tools used included the ‘Participant Information Form,’ the ‘Artificial Intelligence Literacy Scale,’ and the ‘Mathematics Literacy Self-Efficacy Scale.’ Descriptive and correlational statistical techniques were employed for data analysis. The findings of the study revealed that the preservice teachers' perceptions of artificial intelligence literacy were moderate, while their perceptions of mathematics literacy self-efficacy were at a high level. There was a significant and linear relationship between artificial intelligence literacy and mathematics literacy self-efficacy perceptions, with artificial intelligence literacy perceptions explaining 39.1% of the variance in mathematics literacy self-efficacy perceptions. Additionally, the findings suggest that awareness and ethical perceptions in artificial intelligence literacy moderately enhance mathematics literacy self-efficacy perceptions.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, ilköğretim matematik öğretmeni adaylarının yapay zeka okuryazarlıkları ve matematik okuryazarlığı özyeterlik algılarını belirlemek ve bu iki okuryazarlık türüne ilişkin algıları arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymaktır. Çalışma betimsel ve ilişkisel tarama modelindedir. Araştırmanın örneklemini 2024-2025 eğitim öğretim yılında Denizli, Edirne ve İzmir illerindeki kamu üniversitelerindeki eğitim fakültelerinde ilköğretim matematik öğretmenliği bölümünde öğrenim görmekte olan 203 ilköğretim matematik öğretmen adayı oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak “Kişisel Bilgi Formu”, “Yapay Zekâ Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği” ve “Matematik Okuryazarlığı Özyeterlilik Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde betimsel ve korelasyonel hesaplama tekniklerinden yararlanılmıştır. Bu araştırma sonucunda ilköğretim matematik öğretmen adaylarının yapay zeka okuryazarlığı algılarının orta ve matematik okuryazarlığı özyeterlik algılarının yüksek düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Yapay zekâ okuryazarlığı algıları ile matematik okuryazarlığı özyeterliği algıları arasında doğrusal ve anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu ve yapay zeka okuryazarlığı algılarının, matematik okuryazarlığı özyeterliği algılarının %39,1’ini açıkladığı belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, elde edilen bulgular yapay zeka okuryazarlığında farkındalık ve etik algılarının matematik okuryazarlığı özyeterliği algılarını orta düzeyde arttırdığını göstermektedir.
