Pelatihan Penggunaan AI untuk Peningkatan Kompetensi Guru-Guru dalam Menyiapkan Proses Pembelajaran

Abstract

Teachers, as educational personnel, are expected to enhance their competence in mastering information technology, which can later be utilized in classroom learning activities. However, in reality, teachers' knowledge and skills in mastering technology to support teaching and learning activities are still limited. Based on a survey conducted, teachers at SD Indriyasana, Baleendah, are eager to gain knowledge and skills in using open-source applications, such as Chat GPT, Gemini AI, and MajickPen AI, to support their tasks, both in teaching and administrative duties. Therefore, training and mentoring are needed in learning the use of these open-source applications to support teachers' activities. The aim of this training is to introduce and train teachers at SD Indriyasana, Baleendah, in using open-source applications based on artificial intelligence (AI), such as Chat GPT, Gemini AI, and MajickPen AI, to support teaching and administrative tasks. The method used involves training, direct practice by teachers, guided by speakers and instructors using AI-based open-source applications, namely ChatGPT, Gemini AI, and MajickPen. The implementation method includes the following steps: 1) user needs analysis, 2) literature study, 3) training module development, 4) module testing, 5) training implementation, 6) evaluation. The training results indicate that teachers acquired knowledge and practical experience in line with their needs, enabling them to use AI-based applications (Chat GPT, Gemini AI, and MajickPen AI) to support learning and administrative activities. It can be said that the training went well, as shown by the questionnaire results: 1) alignment of the training program with objectives (94%), 2) alignment of the program with partners' needs (71%), 3) adequacy of program implementation time (65%), 4) team’s ability to execute the program (88%), and 5) program sustainability (77%). This training activity is beneficial for both teachers and students because it can make learning more interesting and enjoyable for students. By utilizing AI-based applications, teachers can generate ideas for learning activities, create quizzes, or provide relevant and up-to-date teaching materials, thereby facilitating class preparation and easing teachers' administrative tasks.
