A Artificial Intelligence sebagai Co-Teaching Assistant: Program Peningkatan Kompetensi Digital Guru Ekonomi MGMP Mojokerto

Abstract

This community service program aims to improve the digital competence of economics teachers in optimizing artificial intelligence platforms to support learning. Initial surveys identified that 85% of teachers had never used an artificial intelligence platform, 90% felt less confident, and only 5% understood the ethics of using it. The program is implemented over six months with a multi-component approach that integrates intensive workshops, guided practice, ongoing mentoring, and community building of practitioners. The data collection method uses a mixed approach through structured questionnaires, learning observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Results showed significant improvements in all dimensions of digital competence, with average scores increasing from 2.0 to 3.8 on a five-point scale. The transformation of teachers' attitudes is reflected in the decrease in the perception of artificial intelligence as a threat from 75% to 18%. Teachers produced 1,254 artificial intelligence-based learning products and formed a community of active practitioners with 847 posts. The program demonstrates that with comprehensive design and adequate support, teachers can develop advanced digital competencies. Practical implications emphasize the importance of a sustainable, contextual, and collaborative approach in teacher professional development for responsible technology integration.
