Özet

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) chatbots can make positive contributions to education processes thanks to their advanced natural language processing capabilities. This is a new technology, and it is important to know its proper use. GenAI literature students have more potential to use chatbots effectively. In the literature, there are a limited number of measurement tools to measure the literacy level of AI chatbots, which are in the productive artificial intelligence category. The aim of this study is to adapt an instrument to measure the GenAI literacy of university students.  The AI literacy scale developed by [1] was adapted into Turkish with the participation of 297 undergraduate and graduate university students. The scale consists of four dimensions and ten items. The Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient for the four dimensions was calculated to be 0.74. The total test scores showed a significant difference between the upper and lower 27% groups. The fit indices were examined to demonstrate the adequacy of the model, and it provides a good foundation to build upon. With this structure, the instrument can be used as a suitable tool to measure the level of GenAI literacy, the effectiveness of learning activities to improve this level, and to conduct research on this topic.
