kusmiadi Kusmiadi — 2024-09-16

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has an important role to play in shaping the future of software development. AI responds to complex challenges in the information technology industry and expands the scope of future possibilities, which include increased automation, personalization, and security. The research aims to identify the role of AI in education and research from various aspects of software development, and evaluate the resulting implications for information technology as a whole. The research adopted the Systematic Literature Review Method following PRISMA guidelines. A total of 320 articles were collected from Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar and applying predefined criteria, 42 relevant articles were included for analysis. The research findings show that the role and integration of artificial intelligence (AI) has a significant impact in improving efficiency, bringing software innovation in education, learning and research in the future. AI has proven effective in personalizing learning, adapting teaching materials and improving student learning outcomes. AI accelerates the process of analyzing big data, identifying patterns and trends that conventional methods may miss. The implications of the findings suggest that the integration of AI in education and research not only improves the efficiency and effectiveness of the process, but opens up new opportunities for innovation and development of more adaptive and data-driven learning and research methods. The challenges of AI in education and research include data privacy, potential bias in algorithms, and the need for adequate technological infrastructure to support effective and secure implementation, avoid inequality of access, and ensure accurate results.

Entrepreneurship is the answer to the challenge of the need for creativity and innovation in solving problems or creating new opportunities, as applied in vocational-based curricula. Various vocational competencies and skills are trained to equip and prepare students to enter the dynamic world of work so that students must be able to solve problems encountered around them through creative problem-solving. Therefore, in its teaching, real problem-solving exercises are needed with the help of learning media that can illustrate these real problems in detail with very realistic visuals. For this reason, it is necessary to have learning media such as animated films that accommodate various problems related to entrepreneurship practice to train students' creative thinking abilities. The research and development model used in this research is the Borg and Gall procedural model which is descriptive and shows systematic steps to produce an animated film with an entrepreneurship theme. The basis for selecting this development model is related to the special characteristics of the Borg and Gall development model, namely developing products to relate the gap between educational research and educational practice, as well as emphasizing specific problems related to practical problems in teaching through applied research. Animated films with the theme of practice entrepreneurship can be said to meet the criteria of product development feasibility. The animated film media used has also proven to be a solution to the problems of students who have not been trained to think creatively in practice entrepreneurship problems-solving, so that students are more enthusiastic about learning and have meaningful learning experiences.

Exploring the Role of Artificial Intelligence in Learning Media for Vocational Education: A Systematic Literature Review

Muhammad Fuad Muttaqin — 2024-09-16

This article is a systematic literature review which aims to explore information about the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in learning media in vocational education. In the Industry 4.0 era, education needs to keep up with technological developments. AI has an important role in creating learning materials and solving problems in educational environments. AI is able to analyze individual learning styles and needs, providing personalized and relevant material. This research reveals that the use of artificial intelligence in vocational education has several important findings. These findings include personalization of learning based on individual learning styles and needs, engaging learning experiences through interactive simulations and educational games, as well as enriching practical experiences through virtual laboratories and industrial simulations. Additionally, the artificial intelligence assessment system is capable of detecting students' weaknesses and strengths in real-time, providing personalized feedback, and assisting in monitoring overall class performance. This research shows that artificial intelligence is not just a tool, but also a partner that drives innovation in vocational education, helps students reach their full potential, and prepares them for a bright future in their chosen industry.
