This research investigates the educational potential of AI-powered chatbots in Social Studies education. Conducted using a mixed methods approach, the study involved 78 sixth-grade students across three classes and one teacher. The experimental group used an AI-powered chatbot named "Sosyalci-Bot" for lessons, while the control groups followed a constructivist approach. Post-test and permanency test scores showed that the experimental group performed significantly better than the control groups. Interviews with students and the teacher revealed positive evaluations of the chatbot's pedagogical and design features, highlighting its impact on learning and teaching processes. However, some shortcomings were identified, and suggestions for improvement were offered. The study concludes that chatbots have high potential in Social Studies education but require further advancements in technology to achieve optimal effectiveness. Recommendations include developing chatbots with enhanced communication capabilities and exploring innovative integration methods into educational environments.This research investigates the educational potential of AI-powered chatbots in Social Studies education.
