Treffer: The Effect of Artificial Intelligence Applications in 6th Grade Visual Arts Course on Student Attitudes and Course Outcomes

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of artificial intelligencesupported teaching practices on students' attitudes and course outcomes in the visual arts course at the 6th grade level of secondary school. The research was conducted in a private middle school in Mersin province, Turkey, in the second semester of the 2023-2024 academic year. A total of 40 students participated in the study, which was designed as a quasi-experimental design with an experimental-control group. The experimental group used teaching methods enriched with artificial intelligence tools, while the control group continued with the traditional curriculum. Quantitative data were collected using the Attitude Scale Towards Visual Arts Lesson and Course Outcome Scale as pre-test -post-test. The results of the application showed that there was a significant increase in the attitude towards the course of the students who received the artificial intelligence-based instruction. Similarly, the course acquisition scores of the students in the experimental group were found to be statistically higher than those of the control group. The research results provide important insights into how student-centered and AI-based approaches can be effective in achieving course objectives.
