Abstract

This study aimed to address human resource limitations in elementary schools by integrating Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the preparation of learning materials aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum. Limited availability of homeroom teachers often results in vacant teaching positions, increased administrative responsibilities, and teacher fatigue, which may negatively affect learning quality. This community service program used a participatory approach with three stages: needs analysis, implementation, and evaluation. Implementation included workshops and ongoing coaching to strengthen teachers’ competencies in structured prompt engineering, using the Sigap AI handbook as a practical guide for generating, adapting, and refining instructional materials and administrative documents. The results showed that the program effectively reduced teachers’ time in preparing learning resources and supported more efficient completion of administrative tasks. Evaluation and reflection activities revealed that 100% of participants felt assisted by the program, experienced increased confidence, and demonstrated improved digital independence in utilizing AI technology. The program also reinforced the importance of responsible AI adoption by ensuring that teachers remained the primary decision-makers in instructional processes. These findings suggest that structured Generative AI integration can support teachers and maintain learning quality despite limited human resources in elementary schools.
