LEARNING DESIGN TRAINING USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR EFFECTIVE AND INTERACTIVE LEARNING AT MI MUHAMMADIYAH TAMBAKSARI BLORA

Introduction

Learning design training using artificial intelligence for effective and interactive learning at mi muhammadiyah tambaksari blora. Empower primary school teachers at MI Muhammadiyah Tambaksari with AI-based learning design training. Enhance interactive teaching skills & boost student engagement in digital education.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has brought significant changes in the field of education, particularly in the design and delivery of learning materials. Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) Muhammadiyah Tambaksari in Blora Regency, as a faith-based primary educational institution, faces challenges in utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology in teaching and learning activities due to limited understanding and skills among teachers. Through a community service program, training on interactive learning design based on AI was provided to 12 teachers at MI Muhammadiyah Tambaksari. The training consisted of four sessions covering an introduction to AI, training on interactive learning design, the use of AI-based digital applications, as well as evaluation and feedback. Evaluation results showed a significant improvement in teacher competencies, with an average post-test score of 88 compared to a pre-test score of 53. Classroom implementation demonstrated a positive student response to AI-based learning, with 95% of students expressing interest in learning again using similar media. The outcomes of this program not only enhanced teachers' abilities in designing engaging and adaptive digital learning but also had a positive impact on students' motivation and engagement in the learning process

Review

This abstract outlines a highly relevant and commendable community service program aimed at integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into primary education at MI Muhammadiyah Tambaksari. Recognizing the critical need for digital literacy among teachers in a faith-based institution with limited prior exposure to AI, the initiative strategically addresses a significant gap in preparing educators for the evolving demands of modern pedagogy. The program's focus on empowering teachers to design interactive and effective learning experiences using AI is particularly important, as it directly impacts the learning environment and future readiness of young students. The program's methodology, encompassing four structured sessions from introduction to evaluation, appears well-designed for a practical training intervention. The results presented are notably positive and provide strong evidence of the program's immediate success. The substantial improvement in teacher competencies, as reflected by the significant increase in average post-test scores from 53 to 88, demonstrates the effectiveness of the training. Furthermore, the abstract effectively highlights the positive impact on students, with a remarkable 95% expressing interest in continued AI-based learning, indicating enhanced motivation and engagement. These quantifiable outcomes clearly validate the program's utility and immediate impact. While the abstract clearly showcases the immediate benefits of the training, future work could benefit from greater specificity regarding the particular AI-based digital applications introduced and the explicit pedagogical approaches taught. Delving deeper into *how* these tools and methods fostered interactivity and effectiveness would enrich the understanding of the program's mechanisms of success. Additionally, exploring the long-term sustainability of the teachers' acquired skills and the eventual impact on student academic outcomes, beyond initial engagement, would provide further valuable insights. Nevertheless, this initiative represents a successful and impactful model for professional development in digital and AI literacy within primary education, meriting wider consideration and potential adaptation in similar contexts.
