The statistical population consisted of primary school teachers in Istanbul during the COVID-19 pandemic (year unspecified), from which 200 individuals were selected using simple random sampling as the study sample. The data collection tool was an electronic questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling (SEM).</span></span><br> <span style="line-height:107%"><b><span style="line-height:107%">Results</span></b><span style="line-height:107%">: The results indicated that the direct effects of artificial intelligence (&beta; = 0.21) and ethical behavior (&beta; = 0.37) on value co-creation in virtual learning environments were positive and significant at the level of P < 0.01. Furthermore, the moderating role of ethical behavior in the relationship between artificial intelligence and value co-creation in virtual learning environments was significant at the level of P < 0.01.</span></span><br> <span style="line-height:107%"><b><span style="line-height:107%">Conclusion</span></b><span style="line-height:107%">: The findings demonstrated that the proposed model had a relatively good fit with the data and was able to explain 64% of the variance in value co-creation in virtual learning environments.</span></span></span></span><br> &nbsp;</div> Artificial intelligence, Value co-creation, Virtual learning environments, Ethical behavior 71 75 http://ijethics.com/browse.php?a_code=A-10-397-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Emine Bolat bolat.1999@yahoo.com 10031947532846003491 10031947532846003491 Yes Department of Educational Administration and Planning, Faculty of Educational Sciences, University of Bahçeşehir, Istanbul, Turkiye Ahmed Aydan ahmedaydan@gmail.com 10031947532846003492 10031947532846003492 No Department of Educational Administration and Planning, Faculty of Educational Sciences, University of Bahçeşehir, Istanbul, Turkiye Emir Durmaz e.dturkiye@yahoo.com 10031947532846003493 0009-0003-8277-4666 No Department of Educational Administration and Planning, Faculty of Educational Sciences, University of Bahçeşehir, Istanbul, Turkiye Mustafa Durmaz mustafa.dulmaz1@gmail.com 10031947532846003494 0009-0000-4848-5201 No Department of Educational Administration and Planning, Faculty of Educational Sciences, University of Bahçeşehir, Istanbul, Turkiye
