Artificial Intelligence (AI) Training for Teachers at SMP NU Tebat Jaya: Efforts to Improve Digital Competence in the 21st Century Learning Era

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) training for teachers at SMP NU Tebat Jaya is a form of community service that aims to improve teachers' digital skills in facing the challenges of 21st-century learning. In this activity, teachers are given basic knowledge about the concept and development of AI, as well as practical training to use AI-based applications such as ChatGPT, Gamma, and InVideo in creating interactive and adaptive learning media. This activity was carried out using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach through four main phases, namely preparation, socialisation, training, and mentoring. The results of the activity showed that the training had succeeded in increasing teachers' understanding of the importance of AI in education and teachers' ability to incorporate this technology into the learning process. Evaluation was carried out to assess the extent to which the training was effective, which then became the basis for further development, such as ongoing guidance and improving supporting facilities. This activity is expected to encourage educational changes that are more adaptive and in accordance with the latest technological developments.
