FMIPA UI Holds Koding Training and Artificial Intelligence for High School/MA/SMK/MAK Mathematics Teachers in Jakarta

Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Indonesia (FMIPA UI) through the Department of Mathematics to hold training entitled “Pembelajaran Koding dan Kecerdasan Artifisial bagi Guru SMA/MA/SMK/MAKon Wednesday (7/23).

The training was attended by 65 mathematics teachers from high school, MA, SMK, and MAK in Jakarta who were members of the Mathematics Subject Teachers (MGMP).

The training took place at the Computer Laboratory 301, the Pertamina FMIPA UI Multidisciplinary Research Laboratory Building, as part of the community service program which was coordinated by Dr. Suci Fratama Sari, M.Sc. The aim is to equip teachers with the basic understanding of programming logic and artificial intelligence (KA), as well as practical skills that can be directly applied in learning in class.

"In the era of the rapid development of the current era, artificial intelligence is increasingly being used in various aspects of life. Therefore, it is important for students to begin to recognize programming -based KAs from an early age," explained Dr. Holy.

He added, "The teacher has an important role as the spearhead in introducing new technology to the younger generation. Through this training, we want teachers not only to understand the basics of coding and train, but are also able to integrate them into mathematics learning."

This activity has become increasingly relevant as the enactment of the Minister of Education Regulation No. 13 of 2025 which requires schools to provide coding and train choices starting from the school year 2025/2026. This training is expected to be able to prepare teachers to face these challenges more confidently and competent.

The training is divided into two main sessions. The first session was delivered by Drs. Gatot Fatwanto Hertono, M.Sc., Ph.D., with the material "Programming Logic: Introduction to the Koding Process". In this session, participants studied the basics of the algorithm, pseudocode, flowchart, programming structures such as looping and conditions, array (array), boolean logic, to common errors in the programming process.

The second session presented Prof. Dr. Rer. Nat. Hendri Murfi, S.Si., M.Kom., Who discusses the topic "Predictive and Generative Artificial Intelligence". He introduced the concept of modern AI, including predictive and generative models as well as prompt engineering techniques (prompt engineering) which are now widely used in applications such as chatgpt and Google Gemini.

In his presentation, Prof. Hendri also stressed the importance of ethics in the use of AI, especially in the context of education.

Interestingly, this training not only focuses on delivering theories, but also provides direct practice experiences that enrich the participants' understanding. In the practice session, participants actively use the Google Colab platform to learn and implement the Python programming language. Through a simple case study -based approach, participants are invited to explore the basic models of artificial intelligence. This activity opens the participants' insight into the way the train works in solving the problem of predictions and simple classifications.

This training is the result of a cross -study program collaboration under the Mathematics Department of FMIPA UI, namely the Mathematics Study Program, Statistics, and Actuarial Sciences.

Deputy Dean of Education, Research and Student Affairs FMIPA UI, Prof. Dr. Rer. Nat. Budiawan, also attended and officially closed the activity. In his remarks, he expressed his appreciation for the implementation of this activity. "Collaboration like this is very important to build responsive education to the development of technology and the needs of the times," he said.
