Abstract

Technology is not just a tool, but a reflection of the relationship that humans establish with the knowledge they produce. In this context, a scale was created to measure educators’ perception of artificial intelligence in Turkey and validity and reliability analyses were conducted. The research was conducted with three independent sample groups. In the first stage, the 12-item draft scale was applied to 233 participants and reduced to 8 items1 as a result of EFA. In the second stage, the scale was applied to 153 participants and CFA was performed, confirming a onedimensional structure, and acceptable fit indices were reached. In the third stage, the temporal stability and criterion validity of the scale were evaluated with 48 participants using the test-retest method. The reliability of the scale was determined by Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient being 0.62 and KMO value being 0.90. Additionally, various statistical analyses, including item-total correlation, item-residual analysis, and test-retest correlation analysis, were conducted to ensure the validity and reliability of the scale
