Examining the Attitudes and Anxiety of Teachers and Administrators Towards Artificial Intelligence: Relational Browsing

The widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI) has been growing in various fields. While concerns about the use of basic computer technology still continue today, anxiety about a new technological revolution, artificial intelligence, has also surrounded the education sector. The cause of anxiety can be derived from knowledge, skills, and attitudes towards the use of technologies. In this study, the attitudes and anxiety levels of administrators and teachers in primary and secondary schools towards artificial intelligence and the relationship between anxiety and attitude scores were investigated. A total of 130 participants, consisting of administrators and teachers, participated in this study. In this context, survey models are one of the quantitative research methods. Artificial intelligence attitude and anxiety scales were used in accordance with the data collection method. When the research results are corrected, there is a negative relationship between the attitude variable towards artificial intelligence and the anxiety variable; as the attitude increases, the anxiety level decreases. It is seen that administrators and teachers experience significant anxiety.
