Penguatan Literasi Teknologi: Pelatihan Penggunaan Aplikasi Artificial Intelligence untuk Pembuatan Media Visual bagi Guru Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini
Abstract
Kesenjangan kompetensi digital guru Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) dalam memanfaatkan Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI ) untuk membuat media visual menjadi hambatan serius dalam optimalisasi pembelajaran di era digital. Pengabdian ini bertujuan meningkatkan literasi teknologi guru Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) melalui pelatihan aplikasi Generative AI berbasis pendekatan Participatory Action Research (PAR). Tiga puluh guru dari sepuluh lembaga PAUD menjadi peserta pelatihan intensif selama tiga hari dengan metode blended learning. Instrumen evaluasi meliputi pre-test dan post-test, observasi partisipatif, portofolio produk, serta wawancara mendalam. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan pada keterampilan teknis (N-Gain 0,83), pemahaman konsep AI dan etika (N-Gain 0,67), serta integrasi media dalam RPP (N-Gain 0,70). Setiap peserta berhasil menghasilkan minimal tiga produk media visual berkualitas tinggi yang dipersonalisasi sesuai konteks lokal. Perubahan mindset dari skeptis menjadi percaya diri terhadap teknologi AI menunjukkan dampak positif jangka panjang. Terbentuknya komunitas praktik pasca-pelatihan memastikan keberlanjutan program. Pengabdian ini membuktikan bahwa pendekatan PAR dengan integrasi teknologi Generative AI efektif mengatasi kesenjangan kompetensi digital guru PAUD dan meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran anak usia dini
