Abstract :This study aimed to determine teachers\\\' level of artificial intelligence (AI) awareness and computational thinking (CT) skills. We also examined whether AI awareness and CT skills were related and how these variables differed across various sociodemographic and professional variables. This study, conducted in Turkey during the 2024-2025 academic year using a descriptive correlational survey design, involved 981 teachers (female = 514, male = 467) who volunteered to participate. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Pearson correlation. The analysis indicated that teachers\\\' AI awareness and CT skills were above average. Furthermore, significant differences in teachers\\\' AI awareness and CT skills were revealed based on sociodemographic and professional variables. A positive statistically significant correlation was found between AI awareness and CT skills. Based on the results, we made recommendations for researchers and practitioners.
