Course Goal / Objective
The aim of this course is to ensure that students of the Child Development program understand generative artificial intelligence technologies at a basic level; and to enable them to develop qualified educational materials (digital stories, activity plans, etc.) suitable for the preschool period by using these tools ethically, safely, and in a way that protects children's personal data. Additionally, it aims to equip students with the ability to critically evaluate the cognitive and socio-emotional effects of artificial intelligence applications in early childhood.
Course Content
Basic concepts of artificial intelligence and generative AI; prompt engineering in education; AI-supported preschool material (visual, text, activity) design; pedagogical verification of AI outputs (hallucinations/errors); digital footprint and children's data privacy; technology ethics, open science, and copyright; the developmental effects of AI use in early childhood, and literature review.

Course Learning Outcomes
| Order | Course Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|
| LO01 | The student defines the basic concepts related to artificial intelligence in their own words and completely, based on the given preschool case examples. |
| LO02 | The student writes generative AI commands (prompts) suitable for the educational purpose, with clear boundaries and context, when given a specific activity scenario. |
| LO03 | The student designs educational materials (digital story, activity plan) suitable for the developmental characteristics of preschool children by using generative AI tools. |
| LO04 | The student verifies the accuracy and pedagogical reliability of the information in the content by comparing it with scientific/academic sources, after examining an educational material produced by AI. |
| LO05 | The student fully applies anonymization steps to protect children's personal data privacy when entering data into AI tools. |
| LO06 | The student acts in accordance with technology ethics rules within the framework of academic integrity principles in all project and assignment preparation processes within the scope of the course. |
| LO07 | The student evaluates the developmental effects of the application in early childhood with its positive and negative aspects, based on evidence, based on a selected AI-supported educational application. |
