The Effect of Artificial Intelligence Literacy on the Future Anxiety of Physical Education and Sports Teacher Candidates

Abstract

In this study, the effect of artificial intelligence literacy levels of physical education and sports teacher candidates on their future anxiety was evaluated by examining them in the context of different variables. The survey method was preferred in collecting data. The survey used in the study consists of three parts: The first part includes questions prepared by the researcher and includes demographic information about the gender, age and grade level of the participants. The second part uses the 'Artificial Intelligence Literacy Scale' developed to measure the artificial intelligence literacy of teacher candidates. In the third part, the 'Future Anxiety Scale' prepared by Geylani and & Ccedil;iri & scedil;-Y & imath;ld & imath;z (2020) to measure the future anxiety levels of university students was applied. G-Power analysis was performed to determine the sample size to participate in the study and the minimum number of participants was determined. No statistically significant difference was found in the analyzes made according to the gender, age and grade level variables of physical education and sports teacher candidates within the scope of the study. When the relationship between artificial intelligence literacy and future anxiety was analyzed, a positive but very weak correlation was observed. In addition, it was concluded that artificial intelligence literacy has a positive and significant effect on the future anxiety of physical education and sports teacher candidates.
