THE POTENTIAL OF USING THE TEACHABLE MACHINE APPLICATION FOR MACHINE LEARNING IN EDUCATION

16th INTERNATIONAL COMPUTER AND INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGIES SYMPOSIUM, Eskişehir, Türkiye, 26 - 28 Ekim 2023, ss.14-22, (Tam Metin Bildiri)

The purpose of this research is to identify the potential educational uses of the

Teachable Machine (TM) and to provide a systematic framework for developing educational

activities using this application. Additionally, it aims to provide information on how TM has

been utilized in educational research. This research, developed based on qualitative

methods, conducted a content analysis of 11 studies in the field of education that used the

application. The review process was carried out using an evaluation form prepared by the

researchers. According to the research findings, it was observed that the TM has the

potential to encourage students' creativity, enrich their learning experiences, and enhance

their digital skills. However, it was determined that educational research often does not

sufficiently focus on these features of the application. Typically, studies aim to determine

whether students understand the logical operation of machine learning technology. In the

research, the process of developing activities with TM is summarized in five steps. These

steps are as follows: (1) Defining the purpose and objectives of the activity, (2) preparing

the dataset, (3) training the model, (4) testing the model, and (5) sharing and integrating

the activity. The research has provided recommendations for developing in-class

educational activities using these five steps.
