The Effect of Using Mind Maps Supported By Artificial Intelligence Applications on The Achievement And Problem-Solving Skills of Fifth-Grade Science Students In Chemistry.

Abstract

This research aims to identify the effect of using mind maps supported by artificial intelligence applications on the achievement and problem-solving skills of fifth-grade science students in chemistry.

    The research sample consisted of) 64(students, divided into two groups of) 32(.  The researcher ensured the equivalence of the groups in the following variables: age, prior knowledge, prior achievement, intelligence, and a chemistry problem-solving scale.

    The first instrument was an achievement test with 40 items in chemistry, and the second was a chemistry problem-solving scale with 40 items. The researcher verified the psychometric properties of both instruments.  The results showed that the control group, which studied using mind maps supported by artificial intelligence applications, outperformed the control group in both achievement and problem-solving skills.
