Artificial Intelligence for Mental Health: A Double-Edged Sword
Get PDFArtificial intelligence (AI) in the context of mental health presents a complex scenario characterized by both advantageous prospects and inherent hazards. AI possesses the capacity to fundamentally transform the field of mental healthcare through the provision of individualized and readily accessible assistance. AI systems possess the capacity to analyze extensive quantities of data and identify patterns, thereby offering valuable assistance to doctors in the diagnosis of mental diseases, development of personalized treatment programs, and even prediction of relapses. Furthermore, there is ongoing development in the field of AI to create chatbots that utilize AI technology and serve as virtual therapists. These chatbots aim to provide individuals with continuous emotional support, available at any time of the day. Nonetheless, this technological advancement also gives rise to apprehensions about issues of privacy, ethical considerations, and an excessive dependence on automated systems. Robust security measures are crucial in safeguarding the anonymity of consumers while utilizing AI systems due to the sensitive nature of mental health data. Furthermore, it is important to consider the potential for dehumanization when patients only depend on interventions driven by machines, as opposed to fostering human connection and empathy. Achieving an optimal equilibrium between technical progress and preserving interpersonal connection remains a key aspect in fully using the capabilities of AI in the field of mental health, while simultaneously ensuring its effects on individual welfare are protected

Barrier-Free Science Education for Visually Impaired Students: An Activity for Life Cycle in Plants
Get PDFThis research aims to design and apply a lesson plan to satisfy 3rd-grade inclusive education students’ individual learning needs on the subject of plant life cycle, and to develop three instruction materials based on this lesson plan. In the first stage of this three-staged research, visually impaired students’ individual learning needs were determined by conducting workshops with science teachers, elementary school teachers, and special education teachers. Then, the learning outcomes of science education programs were determined. In the second stage, teaching materials suitable for students’ personal characteristics were designed by the teachers after assessing the students’ needs. Visually impaired students also participated in the process of developing the educational material. In the last stage, students were taught according to the lesson plan with the materials prepared according to the 5E learning model. After the lessons, data were collected through semi-structured interview forms to determine the students’ opinions on the lessons and materials. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data obtained. The research results showed that the teaching material responded to the needs of the students and contributed positively to their conceptual learning
