Utilization of Chatgpt to Increase The Environmental Awareness of Early Childhood

Abstract

The utilization of artificial intelligence is not a new thing in education. In various studies that have been conducted, the use of artificial intelligence in the learning process allows for improvements in terms of personalization, student interaction, and the role of the teacher as a facilitator. The purpose of this study is to explore the utilization of one of the artificial intelligence applications, namely ChatGPT, as a learning media at the early childhood education level, to increase students' awareness of the environment. The research subjects consisted of 20 kindergarten students aged 5-6 years at TK Pelita Insan Madani. The results of the study showed that students' understanding and concern for environmental issues increased significantly after using ChatGPT as a learning media. The conclusion of this study is that the use of ChatGPT as a learning media with environmental themes can increase students' understanding and concern for the environment. The researcher's suggestion is that teachers be given more intensive training related to the use of artificial intelligence, and recommendations for further research to be explored more deeply related to the psychological impact for students and the issue of privacy or data security of artificial intelligence users
