Contributions of AI-Supported 3D virtual instructors to educational processes: a study on the SozyAI Model
he rapid transformation in educational technologies has necessitated the integration of artificial intelligence-assisted systems into learning environments. This study examines the transformative impact of SozyAI, an advanced artificial intelligence model, on educational processes, documenting the paradigm shift in students' learning dynamics. Within this technologically restructured pedagogical landscape, the SozyAI model illuminates the evolution of traditional learning theories within artificial intelligence-supported educational environments. The research aims to reveal artificial intelligence technology's potential to enrich personalized learning experiences and evaluate the SozyAI model's multidimensional effects on students' knowledge acquisition rates, comprehension depths, and satisfaction levels. The study systematically addresses both conceptual and practical dimensions of AI integration in education, framing its theoretical approach through analysis of sociocultural implications for institutional structures and pedagogical identities. Regarding the research model employed, the study utilized a mixed-methods design integrating quantitative and qualitative approaches, with the participation of 11 conservatory students (4 male, 7 female, aged 19-23). The data collection process involved structured questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and systematic classroom observations, with SozyAI's effectiveness evaluated through dependent t-tests. The methodological framework incorporated AI-supported data collection tools and systematic integration of expert perspectives. The findings obtained demonstrated statistically significant improvements following SozyAI implementation: learning times decreased from 12.75 to 9.56 minutes, while correct answer rates increased from 68% to 88%. Qualitative findings revealed enhanced student engagement, simplified teaching of complex concepts, and reduced educator workload. In conclusion, despite limitations in handling abstract reasoning tasks, the research establishes AI-supported virtual instructors' potential to transform educational paradigms by optimizing teaching-learning processes at both classroom and systemic levels. Effect size measurements (Cohen's d values: 0.75 for learning speed, 1.02 for correct answer rates) confirm the pedagogical significance of the intervention, suggesting profound implications for educational practice and institutional frameworks.
