Peningkatan Kompetensi Guru MGMP Ekonomi Kota Malang dalam Penyusunan Instrumen HOTS Berbasis Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Abstract:
The ability to develop assessment tools for higher-order thinking skills requires teachers to have a theoretical understanding, think creatively, and gather relevant data. However, teachers who are members of the Malang City High School Economics Teachers’ Working Group still face a variety of challenges in designing assessment tasks and understanding the details of Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). The use of artificial intelligence (AI) as a collaborative partner for teachers is expected to provide a solution. This community service initiative aims to enhance teachers’ ability to develop Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) assessment tools in the field of economics using AI. The method used was Collaborative Teacher Professional Development (CTPD) with a Participatory Action Learning System (PALS) approach, involving pre-training, interactive workshops, coaching clinics, and classroom implementation mentoring. This activity was attended by 27 economics teachers from various high schools and Islamic high schools in Malang City. The results of the activity demonstrated an improvement in teachers’ theoretical understanding of the structure of HOTS questions, as well as their success in compiling a contextual and valid AI-based bank of economics questions. By optimizing AI prompting techniques, teachers were able to significantly reduce the time required to create question prompts based on real-world data (70-80% time efficiency). The sustainability of the program is ensured through the formation of an Innovation Working Group, which serves as a peer-tutoring system within the MGMP.
