Exploring The Engagement of Students with Artificial Intelligence Shock : A Case Study At Junior High School In Jakarta, Indonesia

Abstract

This study investigates the application of an e-learning platform that
supports artificial intelligence and STEM technology, while clarifying the
role of teachers, parental interest, and learning motivation in students’
achievement in civic education in a junior high school in Jakarta, Indonesia.
A proportional random selection was used to generate a sample of 50
students at SMP Jakarta. The research instrument used was in the form of
a questionnaire, interviews, and observations. The results of this research
show that students at SMP are able to adapt to the AI-based learning
environment, and AI significantly improves students’ learning motivation,
especially in critical thinking and problem solving. The study concludes
that integrating AI into the curriculum can increase student engagement
and learning outcomes in collaboration with teachers and parental interest
at home, emphasizing the need for AI training before academic endeavors
in new contexts.
