Öğe Development and Validation of AI Acceptance Scale (AI-AS) for Learners in Higher Education(Springer Int Publ Ag, 2026) Kayali, Bunyami; Yavuz, Mehmet; Ustun, Aysin Gaye; Ucar, Hasan; Erdogdu, Erdem; Bozkurt, ArasThe use of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in educational activities is increasing day by day. This situation highlights the need for valid and reliable measurement tools to determine students' levels of acceptance of this technology. This study aims to develop a standard measurement tool to determine students' levels of acceptance of AI. To this end, the systematic scale development steps proposed by DeVellis and Thorpe () were followed. Exploratory factor analysis conducted with 560 participant responses and confirmatory factor analysis conducted with 950 participant responses resulted in a 26-item, 5-factor structure. The factors included in the scale were listed as "usability", "ease of use", "intention and attitude", "facilitating conditions" and "trust and data privacy". The findings revealed that the scale had high internal consistency and exhibited satisfactory model fit indices. The results indicate that the scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool for determining students' levels of AI acceptance. The study offers practical implications for researchers and practitioners and highlights directions for future work on AI adoption in higher education environments.Öğe From Technology Adoption to Organizational Governance: Mapping the Intellectual Structure and Shifting Paradigms of AI Governance in Educational Leadership(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026) Kayali, Bunyami; Yavuz, Mehmet; Bozkurt, ArasThis study maps the intellectual structure and thematic evolution of the intersection between artificial intelligence (AI) and educational leadership in related literature. Employing a hybrid research design that integrates bibliometric analysis with Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA)-based topic modeling, we examined 757 unique records retrieved from the Web of Science and Scopus databases for the period 2017-2026. Through computational optimization, the corpus was delineated into six emerging research themes that dictate the field's shifting paradigms: "Digital Leadership & Transformation," "Teaching & Student Learning," "AI Acceptance & Self-Efficacy," "Data Management & Machine Learning," "School Leadership & Principals," and "Technical & Computational Fields." While "Digital Leadership & Transformation" dominates over half of the literature, a sharp proportional decline in "School Leadership & Principals" uncovers a critical structural imbalance between abstract institutional transformation discourse and the actual human agents executing it. Furthermore, a severe underrepresentation of technical, governance, and transparency themes exposes a critical "opaque box" crisis of institutional agency. The study concludes that the field remains theoretically fragmented and calls for an integrated socio-technical framework reconciling leadership governance with the complex realities of AI systems.Öğe Investigating the relationship between social presence and transactional distance in online distance learning environments through structural equation modeling analysis(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Yavuz, Mehmet; Kayali, Bunyami; Ustun, Aysin Gaye; Ucar, Hasan; Erdogdu, Erdem; Bozkurt, ArasWhile digitalization has increased flexibility in online distance learning, it has also brought challenges such as emotional strain, interactional issues, and social isolation. In this context, students' sense of social presence is vital for sustaining their well-being and ensuring high-quality interaction. Grounded in Transactional Distance Theory (TDT) and the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework, this study modeled the relationships between social presence (SP) and interaction types within the using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The Social Presence and Transactional Distance Scales were used as data collection instruments. The sample comprised 574 online distance learners, with data collected via an online questionnaire. The results of the SEM analysis showed that SP was a significant positive predictor of all interaction types. Findings show that SP most strongly influences student - student and student - learning environment interactions, while also significantly enhancing student - instructor, student - content, and student - interface interactions. These results indicate that online learning environments should support not only content delivery but also meaningful social interaction. The study highlights the value of SP-oriented design in open, online and distance education systems and offers strategic recommendations for instructors, content developers, and digital learning administrators. Future research should compare synchronous and asynchronous learning structures.Öğe SURVEILLANCE OR SUPPORT? A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SUPPORTED PROCTORED ONLINE EXAMS(Anadolu Univ, 2026) Ustun, Aysin Gaye; Kayali, Bunyami; Yavuz, Mehmet; Bozkurt, ArasProctored online exams have become widespread, especially after COVID-19, increasing exam security and efficiency. In recent years, artificial intelligence developments have increased these systems' importance by expanding their use. Accordingly, this study aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the conceptual structure of artificial intelligence-supported proctored online examination (AI-SPOE) research. Systematic literature review and text mining were used as methods. Thirty-two studies in Scopus and Web of Science databases were analyzed according to the PRISMA technique. While all the studies were examined in the context of content analysis, abstracts and keywords of the relevant studies were analyzed by text mining. The current study found it effective in increasing academic integrity and exam security, but problems such as privacy violations, exam anxiety, and algorithmic biases were encountered. Although methods such as biometric verification and behaviour analysis successfully detect cheating, technical difficulties, and false positives negatively affect the user experience. In the future, more inclusive designs, transparent algorithms, and alternative evaluation methods are suggested. In conclusion, the study emphasizes the potential of AI-SPOE systems and highlights the importance of ethical and technical improvements.Öğe Trust in AI: scale development and validation for online distance learners(Springernature, 2026) Ustun, Aysin Gaye; Yavuz, Mehmet; Kayali, Bunyami; Ucar, Hasan; Erdogdu, Erdem; Bozkurt, ArasTrust in artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a critical factor influencing students' interactions with AI-supported learning environments. However, validated instruments for measuring student trust in AI within educational contexts remain limited. This study developed and validated a multidimensional scale to assess student trust in AI systems in online distance education. Scale development followed a sequential multi-stage design, including item generation based on literature review, expert evaluation for content validity, and psychometric validation through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. A total of 837 distance learning students participated in the study (EFA = 412; CFA = 307; validation sample = 118). Exploratory factor analysis supported a five-factor structure explaining 63.20% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis with an independent sample indicated good model fit (\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\chi <^>{2}$$\end{document}/df = 2.17; CFI = .95; TLI = .94; RMSEA = .06). The scale demonstrated high internal consistency (\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\alpha $$\end{document} = .94; \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\omega $$\end{document} = .94). Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis supported metric invariance across gender, indicating comparable measurement across groups. No significant gender differences were observed, and trust in AI was not significantly associated with grade point average or system engagement frequency. These results suggest that trust represents a distinct perception that may influence how students engage with AI-supported learning environments. The resulting 21-item scale provides a reliable instrument for investigating student trust in AI and offers practical implications for the design and implementation of AI-supported learning in higher education.Öğe Yükseköğretim Öğrencilerinin Koronavirüs (Covid-19) Pandemi Sürecinde Uzaktan Eğitime Yönelik Algıları(Anadolu Üniversitesi, 2021) Aksoy, Dilara Arzugül; Bozkurt, Aras; Kurşun, EnginKoronavirüs (Covid-19) pandemisiyle beraber yaşanan kriz ortamında eğitimin devamlılığını sağlamak ve eğitimi sürdürülebilir kılmak adına [acil] uzaktan eğitim uygulamaya konulmuştur. Bu bağlamda araştırmanın amacı, yükseköğretim öğrencilerinin Covid-19 pandemisi sürecindeki uzaktan eğitim algılarını nitel olgubilim (fenomenoloji) yöntemi çerçevesinde metafor analizi ile incelemektir. Araştırmanın katılımcıları; yüksek lisans, lisans ve ön lisans seviyelerinde 82 üniversite öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. Veri toplama sürecinde, araştırmacılar tarafından çevrimiçi bir form hazırlanarak katılımcılardan "Uzaktan eğitim ... gibidir. Çünkü ..." ifadesini tamamlamaları istenmiştir. İçerik analizi ile elde edilen bulgulara göre katılımcılar, 68 olumlu ve 81 olumsuz metafor üretmişlerdir. Olumlu metaforlardan "esneklik", "kullanışlılık", "öğrenci katılımı" ve "uygunluk" temaları; olumsuz metaforlardan ise "öğretim süreci", "kullanışlılık", "öğrenci durumu", "ölçme değerlendirme" ve "acil uzaktan öğretim" temaları elde edilmiştir. Öğrenciler, uzaktan eğitim yoluyla öğrenme fırsatlarına erişmenin esneklik ve zaman-mekan bağlamında bağımsızlık sağladığını düşünmektedirler. Öte yandan öğrenciler uzaktan eğitimi, etkililiği düşük ve etkileşimi yetersiz olarak değerlendirmektedir. Öğrenciler pandemi bağlamında, uzaktan eğitimi okul öncesi dönemden doktora derecesine kadar eğitimin her kademesini etkileyen acil dönüşüm sürecinin bir parçası olarak algılamaktadırlar.
