Development of AI Literacy Instruments to Map Elementary School Students' Abilities

The development of digital technology necessitates the strengthening of artificial intelligence literacy in elementary education as part of 21st-century skills. This study aims to develop a feasible and reliable AI literacy instrument for elementary school students. The research method employs a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model, encompassing the stages of analysis, design, development, im…

CONCLUSION

From this research, it can be concluded that the developed AI literacy instrument has met the feasibility criteria as a tool for measuring AI literacy in elementary school students. This instrument was developed based on five main indicators: Recognizing AI, Understanding AI, Function/Use Apply AI, Evaluate and Create AI, and AI Ethics, which are theoretically and empirically proven to be relevant for measuring AI literacy at the elementary education level. Expert validation results showed that all

indicators had high content validity, while empirical validity and reliability tests showed that most indicators were in the valid and reliable categories. However, the Understanding AI indicator still requires improvement on several statement items because it showed relatively lower correlation and reliability values compared to other indicators. This finding indicates that understanding abstract AI working concepts remains a challenge for elementary school students; however, overall, the instrument can consistently measure AI literacy, with a relatively homogeneous distribution of student abilities. Thus, this AI literacy instrument is feasible to use as a basis for assessing AI literacy in the context of the Merdeka Curriculum, particularly to support the determination of the Criteria for Achieving Learning Objectives (KKTP). Furthermore, the results of this study can serve as a reference for developing more comprehensive advanced AI literacy instruments and as a reference for designing AI literacy curricula in elementary schools to align with the learning needs of the 21st century.
