The Mathematics Study Program, in collaboration with the Vocational School Mathematics Teacher Working Group (MGMP Matematika SMK) of Kulonprogo Regency, successfully held a training program titled “Utilizing Generative AI to Support Mathematics Learning for Vocational School Teachers.” The event took place offline on August 20, 2025, and was attended by 30 teachers from various vocational schools across Kulonprogo.

The training aimed to enhance teachers’ capacity in developing digital teaching materials based on generative AI, such as student worksheets (LKPD) and interactive learning resources tailored to each vocational program’s needs. Through theoretical sessions and hands-on practice, participants were introduced to the concepts and applications of AI technology, particularly the use of platforms like ChatGPT in creating innovative and contextual teaching materials.

During the training, participants showed great enthusiasm as they engaged in a variety of activities, including lectures, group discussions, and hands-on practice in designing LKPDs with generative AI support. Each teacher was also assigned an individual project to produce at least one digital teaching material adapted to their school’s field of expertise. The resulting products were diverse, ranging from applied mathematics worksheets to simulation-based digital learning tools.

Evaluation results based on pre- and post-tests indicated a significant improvement in participants’ competencies in utilizing AI for teaching material development. The average post-test scores were higher than the pre-test scores, demonstrating the effectiveness of the training in enhancing teachers’ digital literacy.

Beyond the creation of digital teaching materials, the training also yielded several key outcomes, including a news release published on the study program’s website, a formal collaboration document with MGMP Matematika SMK Kulonprogo, and a community service article ready for journal submission. This program is expected to serve as an initial step in strengthening collaboration between universities and schools while supporting the digital transformation of vocational education in Kulonprogo.
