Abstract
The aim of this study is to measure the artificial intelligence literacy levels of students who learn Turkish as a foreign language in Turkey and to determine whether various variables have an effect on artificial intelligence literacy levels. In the first place, it was seen that it was necessary to determine the artificial intelligence levels of students who learn Turkish as a foreign language. The study group consists of 113 international students studying at the TÖMER unit of a foundation university in Istanbul. In the study, the relational survey model, one of the general survey models from quantitative research methods, is used. In the study, “Artificial Intelligence Literacy Scale” developed by Çelebi, Yılmaz, Demir, and Karakuş (2023) was selected and applied as a data collection tool. The data obtained were analyzed with SPSS and a general evaluation was made regarding the artificial intelligence literacy of students learning Turkish as a foreign language. For this purpose, independent samples t-test, one-way variance analysis, Post-Hoc Test were conducted. As a result of the research, it was determined that students' AI literacy levels did not differ statistically in the awareness, evaluation and ethical sub-dimensions according to gender, but they differed in the usage sub-dimension.
Keywords: Artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence literacy, teaching Turkish as a foreign language, international students.
