Abstract

This community service program addresses the low literacy and limited exposure to emerging technologies Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT) among Software Engineering (RPL) students at SMK PGRI Kandanghaur. In response to the competency gap between school curricula and industry demands in the Industrial 4.0 era, the program implements an interactive seminar designed to introduce fundamental concepts, practical applications, and the strategic relevance of these technologies. The activities include expert-led presentations, case-based discussions, and the distribution of digital learning materials to support further independent study. The expected outcomes include improved technological awareness and motivation among students, enhanced readiness for digital transformation, documented seminar outputs, and the publication of community service results. This initiative aims to strengthen students’ foundational competencies and support their alignment with current and future industry requirements.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology presents significant challenges for the education sector, particularly for teachers who began teaching before the year 2000 and still struggle to utilize technology, including in administrative tasks and assessment activities. This condition creates a competency gap between teachers and 21st-century students who are far more adaptive to technology, affecting the effectiveness of teaching and learning processes as well as teacher professionalism. Similar issues are still found at SMAN 1 Sliyeg, a school established in 1997 and recognized as one of the leading high schools in Indramayu Regency. This situation is further reinforced by the demands of the Kurikulum Merdeka, which requires teachers to continuously adapt to digital innovations. Based on these conditions, this community service program was carried out to provide training and technological support based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) to assist teachers in completing lesson planning and student assessments. The results of the activity indicate a significant improvement in teachers’ skills in utilizing AI to enhance work efficiency and reduce administrative burdens, contributing to continuous improvement of education quality
