The Contribution of Artificial Intelligence to Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor Learning and the Acquisition of Future Skills in Education

Artificial intelligence applications are becoming increasingly important in the field of education, and their absence in today's educational environment is considered a significant shortcoming. In learning and teaching environments, learning encompasses not only the cognitive domain but also the affective and psychomotor domains. By offering personalized learning opportunities tailored to students' needs, levels, ages, and interests, artificial intelligence in learning processes can address students' cognitive learning areas. Furthermore, artificial intelligence supports students' skills such as self-regulation and effective use of time, and increases their interest and motivation, thus addressing the affective learning domain. In addition, artificial intelligence supports students' psychomotor skills by offering them simulations and educational opportunities through augmented reality and virtual reality tools. With the support of artificial intelligence, students' critical thinking, problem-solving and collaboration skills can also be supported which are supported 21st- century skills. With the help of AI, the educational goals of the future can also be met.

In today's education, one of the biggest problems is the implementation of more traditional educational approaches and the neglect of technologies such as artificial intelligence. Traditional education systems are generally teacher-centered rather than student-centered. In such cases, teachers are active, while students are passive. With this approach, only cognitive learning areas are supported, while affective and psychomotor learning areas are not developed. As a result, students can listen to and understand the lesson; in short, education is nourished theoretically. However, problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration skills, which are very important for 21st-century skills, are not supported. Because students' affective domains are not addressed, they may develop disinterest and loss of motivation towards learning. To solve all these problems, artificial intelligence applications should be added to education systems, and teachers, students, school administrators, and parents should be trained to use artificial intelligence correctly and effectively. The integration of artificial intelligence into educational environments will support students' 21st-century skills, enable them to critically evaluate the situations they face, and boost their self-confidence.

The purpose of this proposal is to gather researchers on how the use of artificial intelligence in education affects students' cognitive, affective, and psychomotor learning areas, identify its contributions and potential problems, and determine its role in imparting future skills. With this understanding, participants in the research are expected to examine the themes listed below.

1. The impact of AI-supported learning environments on cognitive skills
2. The impact of AI-supported learning environments on affective skills
3. The impact of AI-supported learning environments on psychomotor skills
4. The role of teachers in AI-supported learning environments
5. The role of artificial intelligence in imparting future skills.
