Abstract

Artificially intelligent devices or systems that simulate human intelligence to carry out tasks and may constantly enhance themselves depending on the data they gather are moving at an unstoppable pace and have an impact on humanity in many areas, including social life, business life, entertainment style, and trade methods; but they also have the potential to seriously alter education as well as trivialize concepts of time and space, change learning contents and methods, and even inspire revolutions that could potentially change how people perceive education and manage educational organizations entirely. The introduction of AI into everyday life has altered how people acquire information and sustain their academic lives. After breakthrough improvements in technology like AI and XR, the lengthy and often tedious process of human education from stone tablets to computer displays has accelerated dramatically.

Original Articles Time for a Change in the Philosophy of Higher Education: Rethinking Teaching & Learning in Higher Education in Line with Education 4.0

Suna Utar Özkan

pp. 3 - 6

Abstract

Technological advancements and innovations have resulted in significant changes in many aspects of our lives, including the manufacturing industry. These significant changes in the industry have had an impact not only on production but also on education systems. However, it may be questioned whether the higher education system, which must adapt to the evolving and changing challenges of the modern world, meets the needs of the new generation and prepares the workforce of the future. It appears that traditional teaching methods are no longer useful in the modern era. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to make recommendations that would enhance higher educational philosophy and teaching and learning procedures. This research aims to examine three potential substitute systems that could replace existing methods of teaching and learning processes where knowledge transmission is provided through teachers, which prioritizes the transfer of theoretical knowledge over the development of skills necessary for modern life. These alternative approaches are: innovative and online systems, on-the-job training, product or project based learning systems.

Original Articles Reflections of Artificial Intelligence on Education

Celal Teyyar UĞURLU

pp. 7 - 12

Abstract

One of the most commonly discussed areas of research in many fields, artificial intelligence appears to have generated a significant amount of debate in the field of education. In addition to being a component of technical and digital change and transformation, artificial intelligence in education also refers to the processing of the most intricate human factor components inside educational contexts. In order to enhance students' capacity for autonomous learning inside the educational system, artificial intelligence is essential. Artificial intelligence has begun to control how we engage in our social spaces as technology takes over every aspect of our lives, particularly our interpersonal connections. While artificial intelligence in education is becoming more obvious with various applications, it can be said that artificial intelligence is intended to yield effective learning and teaching outcomes and is attempting to be evaluated as soon as possible. The advancement of artificial intelligence will have a immediate impact on the future of education and with no question education is going to be one of the areas that benefits the most from this relatively recent wave of digital evolution. Because of this, this article aims to engage in discussions about the potential implications of artificial intelligence in the context of education in order to fully comprehend the reflections of this technological advancement that will have a significant influence on educational institutions going forward. The combination of computer-based creation of new technologies with educational methods and programs will lead to deeper improvements in education.

pp. 13 - 21

Abstract

It is a case that cannot be neglected that the metaverse, which can be interpreted as the future of the Internet and the 3-dimensional new generation Internet, has the potential to influence and transform all areas in which human beings are engaged. Undoubtedly, one of the areas that will get the most share from the wave that this relatively new digital evolution can bring will inevitably be education. For this reason, it is important to discuss the possible effects of the metaverse in the context of education in order to understand the potential of this technological step that will shape the future of educational organizations and to make the necessary preparations. This article aims to discuss the educational dimension of the metaverse and to contribute to the understanding of how we can benefit from the metaverse as educational organizations. A customized learning environment adjusted to individual needs, more realistic, more lifelike learning, learning independent of time and space, equality opportunity in education, and getting rid of the financial burden required by physical schools are some of the benefits that metaverse is thought to provide to humanity in the educational sense. In order to benefit optimally from the opportunities and contributions that the metaverse can provide to education, it is necessary to first comprehend the depth and potential of the educational metaverse.

Abstract

The goal of artificial intelligence (AI) is to simulate, and sometimes even surpass, human intelligence in order produces the best results. The unpredictability of AI growth means that certain harmful impacts are not being considered, which entails risks that in some circumstances could be viewed as threats. All agree that the impact of AI on the workforce is an undeniable fact. AI needs to be seen from a human-complementary standpoint to have a beneficial impact, that is, to maintain both productivity and the workforce. "What is the purpose and function of education?" is the question that now must be answered. Artificial intelligence education needs to support social life by utilizing AI to lower economic disparity and boost productivity. Education can help transform the workforce to fit the needs of the AI-based economy.
