Abstract

Sayı hissi, erken çocuklukta kazandırılması gereken ve matematiksel düşünmenin temelini oluşturan kritik bir beceridir. Bu beceride yaşanan eksikliklerin, öğrencilerin genel matematik başarılarını olumsuz yönde etkilediği bilinmektedir. Sayı hissi, geliştirilebilir bir bilişsel yetkinlik olarak pedagojik müdahalelere açıktır ve çocuk edebiyatı ile entegrasyonu, öğrenme süreçlerini destekleyici potansiyel taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada, yapay zekâ teknolojilerinden yararlanılarak matematik başarısı düşük olan ikinci sınıf öğrencilerinin sayı hissi becerilerini geliştirmeye yönelik dijital çocuk edebiyatı ürünleri tasarlanmıştır. Ürünler, analiz, tasarım ve geliştirme süreçlerine dayalı olarak oluşturulmuş; Canva, CapCut, Eleven Labs, Kling AI, Hailuo AI ve Suno AI gibi araçlarla toplamda 6 dijital hikâye ve 6 şarkı hazırlanmıştır. İçerikler, düzenli ve dağınık çoklukların değerlendirilmesi, karşılaştırmalı nicelik analizi, toplama-çıkarma işlemleri ve sayı doğrusu üzerinde konum belirleme gibi alt becerilere odaklanmıştır. Pilot uygulama, beş öğrenci ile gerçekleştirilmiş; uygulama sürecinden elde edilen dönütler doğrultusunda ürünler iyileştirilmiştir. Bulgular, yapay zekâ araçlarıyla üretilen içeriklerin teknik ve pedagojik açıdan hedef kitlenin gelişim düzeyine uygun olduğunu ve öğrencilerin dikkat sürelerini desteklediğini doğrulamıştır. Öğrenci etkileşimleri ve uzman dönütleri, tasarlanan materyallerin sınıf içi uygulamalarda motive edici bir unsur olarak işlev gördüğünü ortaya koymuştur. Sonuç olarak, dijital çocuk edebiyatı temelli bu ürünlerin, sayı hissi becerisi düşük öğrenciler için etkili ve dönüştürücü bir öğrenme aracı olma potansiyeli taşıdığı düşünülmektedir.

Abstract

Number sense is a critical skill that should be acquired in early childhood and is the foundation of mathematical thinking. It is known that deficiencies in this skill negatively impact students' overall mathematical achievement. As a malleable cognitive competence, number sense is amenable to pedagogical interventions, and its integration with children's literature holds the potential to support learning processes. In this study, digital children's literature products aimed at improving the number sense skills of second-grade students with low mathematical achievement were designed utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The products were created based on the analysis, design, and development processes; a total of six digital stories and six songs were prepared using tools such as Canva, CapCut, Eleven Labs, Kling AI, Hailuo AI, and Suno AI. The content focused on sub-skills such as evaluating canonical and scattered quantities, comparative quantity analysis, addition-subtraction operations, and positioning on the number line. A pilot implementation was conducted with five students, and the products were refined based on the feedback obtained during the implementation process. The findings confirmed that the content produced with AI tools was technically and pedagogically appropriate for the developmental level of the target audience and supported the students' attention spans. Student interactions and expert feedback revealed that the designed materials served as a motivating factor in classroom applications. In conclusion, it is considered that these digital children's literature-based products hold the potential to be an effective and transformative learning tool for students with low number sense skills.
