Integrasi Artificial Intelligence dalam Pembelajaran di SDI Bangka Keli

Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Learning at SDI Bangka Keli

Abstract

Digital literacy is a necessity in today's educational transformation. This Community Outreach aims to improve the teachers’s competency at SDI Bangka Keli, Manggarai, in integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support creative and innovative learning. The main problems identified at the location were the digital infrastructure gap and the lack of technical skills of teachers in formulating accurate AI prompts, resulting in the resulting output often not matching the characteristics of the elementary school students at the school. The method used was intensive training and mentoring involving collaboration between PGSD lecturers at Universitas Katolik Santu Paulus Ruteng and teachers at SDI Bangka Keli.  The activity was carried out in four interrelated stages: initial observation, technical preparation, implementation of platform demonstrations (Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, and Gamma), and reflection. The results of the activity demonstrated a significant improvement in teachers' ability to create prompts that could visualise abstract concepts as concrete ones. Furthermore, educators are now equipped with the capability to employ artificial intelligence to facilitate guiding questions, also referred to as scaffolding, which are designed to support students' gradual cognitive development in accordance with Vygotsky's theory. It is concluded that mastering the correct prompting techniques can overcome geographical limitations and trigger teacher creativity in designing contextual teaching materials and motivating students.
