Abstract

En 中文
This study aims to examine the structural relationships of GitHub Copilot AI-powered programming education with students’ AI literacy, metacognitive awareness, satisfaction, learning strategies, and self-regulation skills. The research was carried out with the participation of 167 undergraduate students and AI literacy, metacognitive awareness, satisfaction, learning strategies, and self-regulation skills scales were used in the data collection process. The analyses conducted using structural equation modeling revealed that learning strategies positively influenced both metacognitive awareness and self-regulation skills. It was determined that metacognitive awareness significantly enhanced AI literacy and satisfaction. Self-regulation skills were found to have a positive impact on both AI literacy and satisfaction. This study reveals that AI tools are not merely supportive instruments that facilitate code writing but also pedagogical components that reshape learning-processes.
