Ph. D. Artificial Intelligence Technologies in Education (in Turkish)

Why a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence Technologies in Education at Ibn Haldun University?

Artificial intelligence technologies are influencing all areas of life, and particularly education, leading to a major transformation that requires questioning and redefining roles and practices. This transformation necessitates developing new theoretical perspectives and applications, conducting research in these areas, and training competent academics who specialize in these topics. Artificial intelligence in education is a field that must be addressed not only from a technological perspective but also through pedagogical, psychological, sociological, and ethical dimensions. In this respect, our university, with its social sciences-based and holistic perspective, has adopted a mission to play a critical role in training qualified scientists in this field. The University’s human-, society-, and values-oriented approach supports the development of scientific studies for the ethical, safe, and responsible use of artificial intelligence technologies in education. The expertise of the faculty members in the Faculty of Education—such as educational technology, measurement and evaluation, curriculum development, adult education, educational administration, values education, and educational psychology—provides a strong foundation for effectively implementing this holistic approach.

In this context, the program has been established to train scientists and researchers who will contribute to Türkiye’s digital transformation goals in education, support policymakers with scientific evidence, and produce innovative solutions for practice.
