This study is aimed at developing an achievement test on quadrilaterals for seventh-grade students. The concept of the atom can be visualized in different ways in the mind due to its structure, which the naked eye cannot see. Augmented reality (AR) is one of the applications that can be used to teach such concepts. This study aimed to investigate students' views on the use of AR applications in teaching. Phenomenological design, one of the qualitative research designs, was used in the study. The study group consisted of 26 -graders in a public secondary school. AR application was organized to teach the structure of the atom. Within the scope of the study, an interview form consisting of four open-ended questions prepared by the researchers and submitted to expert opinion for content validity was used as a data collection tool. When the students' answers to the questions were examined, it was determined that they had positive opinions that AR application could be used in other courses and different subjects, that this application was more instructive because it concretized the subject, that it caused a better understanding of the subject it was used in, and that it increased participation in the lesson due to the possibilities of providing three-dimensional images. Suggestions were made based on the results.

As the use of artificial intelligence increases in areas where people are active in our daily lives such as education and health, the comparison of human and artificial intelligence has started to be discussed. Many artificial intelligence programmes are commanded by humans and artificial intelligence creates products in line with expectations. In this study, it is aimed to compare the drawings of pre-service science teachers about the concept of universe with the universe visuals created by artificial intelligence. Case study was selected as the research model. The study group consisted of 24 pre-service science teachers studying in the 2nd and 4th grades of science teaching. The worksheet prepared by the researchers and the received expert opinion was used as a data collection tool. During the application process, pre-service teachers made drawings related to the concept of universe and described these drawings during two lesson hours. Then, they made drawings related to the concept of universe of artificial intelligence with the descriptions they entered into Microsoft Bing Search application. As a result, it was determined that pre-service teachers had different views in their drawings about the concept of universe. It is seen that the drawings of the pre-service teachers about the concept of universe and the visuals created by artificial intelligence are mostly like each other. In half of the drawings, the universe drawings of the pre-service teachers were more comprehensive, while in half of the drawings, artificial intelligence made more comprehensive drawings. Based on this result, it can be said that human perception and artificial intelligence products are in parallel with each other. Various suggestions were presented in line with the results of the study.
