Abstract

The perceptions of elementary school teachers are the main focus of this research, particularly regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a learning support medium in the classroom. This research involved two classroom teachers and used a qualitative approach through interviews, observations, and documentation to describe teachers' acceptance, understanding, and assessment of AI utilization. The research findings indicate that AI is primarily used for creating questions, student worksheets, and interactive media such as Wordwall, Canva, and learning videos. The teacher stated that AI helps speed up the process of preparing materials and increases student attention and engagement due to more appealing visual presentations. However, this study also found limitations such as limited technological facilities, a lack of shared devices, and the risk of student dependence if AI is used excessively. Additionally, differences in training experience affect teachers' understanding of AI usage, particularly in their ability to create appropriate prompts. Overall, AI is considered to provide significant benefits in terms of learning efficiency and quality, although it still requires wise management, improved teacher competency, and the provision of adequate supporting facilities for its optimal and sustainable utilization.
