The Application of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) to Support Teachers in Planning and Developing Learning at Muhammadiyah Al Mujahidin Junior High School in Yogyakarta

Abstract

Advances in digital technology, particularly Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), offer opportunities to improve the quality of education through efficient planning and development of learning. This study aims to examine the use of GenAI to support teachers in planning and developing learning at SMP Muhammadiyah Al Mujahidin Yogyakarta. Training and evaluation methods, including pre-tests and post-tests, were applied to 12 teachers. Analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test revealed a positive trend in knowledge and attitude. Seven out of 12 participants showed an increase in scores with a sum of ranks of 42.00, while five participants experienced a decrease with a sum of ranks of 36.00. The p-values for both aspects were greater than 0.05 (p = 0.8501 for knowledge and p = 0.0161 for attitude), indicating a positive trend toward improvement, suggesting that the training had a constructive impact on the participants.
