| Summary: | This study investigated teachers’ opinions on using artificial intelligence (AI) in education. The aim was to gain insight into teachers’ expectations, desires, and concerns regarding AI applications that will be used more frequently in education shortly. Teachers were consulted about the purposes for which AIs can be used in their lessons and the current level of AI utilization. A qualitative research method was used in the study. Data on the use of AI in education was collected through semi-structured interviews with teachers. The collected data was analyzed using content analysis. According to the findings, teachers believe AIs can be used for language learning, personalized education, and individual student tracking. All teachers participating in the study had a positive view of the use of AI in education.Moreover, most teachers think that AI applications will increase academic success; however, they expect AIs to be suitable for the student level, provide feedback to the student, and evaluate the teaching process. Participants, who stated that teachers also have responsibilities in using AIs, emphasized that teachers need to improve by receiving training on this subject. The study revealed teachers’ concerns about using AI, bringing these reservations to light. In the study’s conclusion, suggestions were made, such as the necessity of using AI in education and considering teachers’ concerns. It also addressed what needs to be done to promote the widespread use of AIs nationwide. |
