Özet

The number of studies on using ChatGPT in scientific and qualitative research is increasing daily. This study investigates the usability of ChatGPT in the interview question preparation phase of qualitative research by taking into account its features, such as text generation, ease of use, and being trained with a large dataset.  In the study, the researchers prepared interview questions for the research problem they identified and compared them with the questions prepared by ChatGPT. The study results show that ChatGPT can generate a variety and depth of questions that researchers need by using its extensive data set and various features.  As a result, we determined that ChatGPT can provide valuable support to researchers in the interview question preparation stages. This support will allow researchers to use their time more effectively, develop their questions more comprehensively and in-depth, and improve the quality of the data obtained from the research.
