Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI), has significantly influenced educational practices, including at the elementary school level. However, many teachers still face challenges in utilizing AI effectively due to limited digital literacy and a lack of training. This study aims to optimize the use of AI in learning through a structured training program for elementary school teachers. The research employed a quantitative approach with a pretest-posttest design involving a group of elementary school teachers as participants. Data were collected through questionnaires, tests, and observations to measure changes in teachers’ knowledge and skills before and after the training. The results indicate a significant improvement in teachers’ understanding and ability to use AI tools for developing instructional media, preparing teaching materials, and conducting assessments. The findings suggest that AI training effectively enhances teachers’ digital competence and supports more innovative and efficient learning processes. The training introduced teachers to various Artificial Intelligence applications, including AI-assisted presentation generators, AI video creators, quiz generators, image generators, and large language models for developing teaching materials. Participants practiced creating learning videos, digital teaching materials, interactive quizzes, presentation slides, and classroom assessments. The results showed significant improvements in teachers’ digital competence and confidence in integrating AI into elementary classroom instruction.
