Original Articles Artificial intelligence applications in education
Fatma Tuba Er & Veli Batdı pp. 14 - 30 | DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14218988 Abstract The concept of artificial intelligence was first introduced by John McCarthy at the Dartmouth Conference in 1956. Over the years, artificial intelligence has become a significant research area in various fields and has emerged as a leading force in technology in this century. Finding application in education among many other domains, artificial intelligence in education is divided into three main categories: expert systems, intelligent tutoring systems, and dialogue-based tutoring systems. In today's world, artificial intelligence has entered classrooms, transforming education worldwide under the umbrella of "smart, adaptive, or personalized learning systems." Artificial intelligence has opened up new dimensions in education by collecting and analyzing vast amounts of data generated by each student. Numerous studies aim to integrate artificial intelligence applications into education, fostering active participation in the learning and teaching processes. This review examines artificial intelligence in the context of education, addressing four fundamental questions: What is artificial intelligence? How does artificial intelligence contribute to education? What are the applications of artificial intelligence in education? What are the areas of use for artificial intelligence applications in education? It is expected that this review will strengthen the overall understanding of artificial intelligence in the field of education and shed light on its practical use for teachers and students in the literature.

Qualitative research method was used in the study. 7 parents of preschool children participated in the study. Data were collected from the participants with an interview form. In the interviews, topics such as the activities parents do with their children, children's playmates, types of games they play, play time and preferred toys were discussed. According to the findings, the games most preferred by children were "coloring activities", and "mother" and "father" were generally prominent as playmates. Parents stated that games increase children's academic success, develop thinking skills, support physical development, strengthen communication skills, provide empathy, teach self-care skills and provide social behaviors. In terms of play resources, factors such as parents guiding their children, teacher support, social media and other parents' posts stand out. As a result, families are aware of the importance of games in child development and think that games have an important place in children's social, cognitive and emotional development. These findings show that families should play more active games with their children and diversify their play environments.
