Artificial intelligence experiences of pre- service preschool teachers
(IGI Global, 2024) Aydın Bölükbaş, Feyza; Budak, Kadriye Selin; Polat, Emine Bozkurt; Engin, Kübra; Ulutaş, İlkay
This section covers artificial intelligence integration in education, artificial intelligence literacy, artificial intelligence in early childhood, and the role of teachers in utilising artificial intelligence, as discussed in the literature. Within this framework, the use of artificial intelligence tools by pre- service teachers has been analyzed based on interviews. Advice on how to effectively utilize artificial intelligence and how to employ artificial intelligence tools and applications ethically is provided. The experiences of pre- service teachers who use artificial intelligence tools whilst organising educational activities are intended to offer guidance at this juncture.
Generative artificial intelligence and the 4C learning skills for the 21st century
(IGI Global, 2024) Mıhcı Türker, Pınar; Öztürk, Mücahit
This chapter explores the relationship between generative artificial intelligence (AI) and the 21st-century 4C learning skills: critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. This chapter provides an overview of the core characteristics of these skills and examines research on how generative AI influences their development. Generative AI presents significant opportunities to foster 4C learning skills by stimulating students' thought processes, encouraging critical perspectives on problems, and enabling innovative solutions. Additionally, generative AI-supported platforms can enhance student communication and facilitate collaborative work. While generative AI offers transformative potential, a balanced and cautious approach is recommended to ensure it best serves students' educational interests.
Using artificial intelligence to evaluate the nature of science myths: a comparison of pre- esrvice science teachers and ChatGPT
(IGI Global, 2024) Tekin, Nurcan
This chapter aims to compare the performances of pre- service science teachers (PSTs) and generative artificial intelligence (AI) application (ChatGPT) in answering nature of science (NoS) myths. In this study, which was designed according to a qualitative descriptive research design, the 15 most frequently encountered NoS myths were addressed to 104 PSTs and the ChatGPT. The data were analyzed using content analysis. As a result of the research, when the items related to all myths were analyzed, approximately 48% of the PSTs had myths about the NoS, while 66% of the ChatGPT answers included correct information. Therefore, ChatGPT can be effective in seeking answers to NoS myths. However, since the resources used by ChatGPT are limited to certain books, contents, or resources of certain countries, it may not be efficient enough in terms of providing information diversity. According to these results, comparison of PSTs and ChatGPT’s answers are discussed.
Use of metallic nanoparticles in plants: recent advances and future challenges
(Elsevier, 2024) Tan, Gamze; Turhan, Ece
The increase in food demand due to population growth necessitates the more efficient use of water and soil resources; however, unconscious use of chemical inputs, excessive irrigation, and environmental pollution has adversely affected growing conditions, health, and eventually crop yield. Unlike conventional delivery, thanks to the controlled release mechanism, nanobased systems hold promise for enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of drugs and alleviating their side effect profiles. Nanotechnology has not only come to the fore in the field of biomedicine but also in agriculture, especially in the prevention, diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of plant diseases, reducing stress levels in plants, reducing the use of chemicals, managing water and nutrients, struggling with pests and insects, and so on. However, nanomaterials to be used in therapeutic systems are expected to be stable, causing relatively low toxic effects, easy to synthesize, cost-effective, biocompatible, and tunable functionality with therapeutic molecules. Metallic nanoparticles stand out in targeting and controlled release applications due to their colloidal stability and tunable characteristics of size, shape, and surface functionality. This section introduces classifications of nanomaterials, metallic nanoparticles and their synthesis routes, and characterization techniques. In addition, it puts a particular emphasis on the contributions of metallic nanoparticles to plant growth and development, crop yield, the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of herbal diseases, as well as their protective roles under harsh conditions, and future demands and challenges.
Relationship between coronavirus anxiety, resilience, and attitudes toward complementary and alternative treatment among patients admitted to the COVID-19 Outpatient Clinic
(National Scientific Medical Center, 2024) Karakoyun, Ahmet; Bahadır YIlmaz, Emel; Yüksel, Arzu
Aim: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the studies showed an increase in complementary and alternative therapy use. This study aimed to determine the relationship between coronavirus anxiety, resilience, and attitudes toward complementary and alternative treatment among patients admitted to the COVID-19 outpatient clinic. Material and methods: This is a descriptive and relational study. The sample consisted of 364 patients who applied to the pandemic outpatient clinic of a training and research hospital in Turkey. Data were collected using the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale, Brief Resilience Scale, and Scale for Attitudes toward Complementary and Alternative Medicine. The Mann–Whitney U test, the Kruskal–Wallis test, and the Spearman correlation test were used in data analysis. Results: There was a moderate and negative correlation (r = −0.332) between attitudes toward complementary and alternative medicine and coronavirus anxiety, and a moderate and positive correlation (r = 0.348) between attitudes toward complementary and alternative medicine and resilience (p < 0.01). Additionally, there was a moderate and negative correlation between coronavirus anxiety and resilience (r = −0.667; p < 0.01). Conclusion: In the COVID-19 pandemic process, it is essential to follow up on patients' complementary and alternative medicine use, inform them, and determine their causes.
