Jakarta, October 19–24, 2025 — One of the lecturers from the Mathematics Education Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP), University of Mataram, Ms. Tabita Wahyu Triutami, M.Pd., has been selected at the national level to participate in the Non-Degree Technical Training for PPG Lecturers and Mentors organized by the Directorate of Teacher Professional Education, Directorate General of Teachers, Education Personnel, and Teacher Education, Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education.
The training, themed “Empowering Educators with In-Depth Literacy and Numeracy Skills through Artificial Intelligence (AI)”, was held offline at the Millennium Hotel Sirih, Jakarta, and attended by 80 selected participants from across Indonesia — comprising 40 PPG lecturers and 40 mentor teachers.
This program aimed to strengthen educators’ competencies in applying literacy and numeracy integrated with artificial intelligence technology, while fostering innovative and adaptive learning approaches aligned with the dynamics of the digital era.
Over six intensive days, participants received inspiring sessions from international speakers from Deakin University, Australia, including:
- Prof. Wanty Widjaja,
- Prof. Damian Blake,
- Dr. Maria Nicholas,
- Dr. Ceridwen Owen, dan
- A/Prof. Matt Thomas.
The sessions focused on integrating AI into classroom practices, enhancing research-based literacy and numeracy instruction, and applying innovative pedagogical strategies. Some of the key topics discussed included:
- From Myths to Meaning: Understanding AI and Deep Learning in Indonesian Classrooms,
- Exploring AI’s Role in Numeracy Teaching,
- Assessing with AI in Literacy and Numeracy,
- Showcasing AI in Class as the highlight session of the training.
During the event, Ms. Tabita Wahyu Triutami, M.Pd., shared that the experience provided her with profound insights into the intelligent use of technology in education.
“This training opened my eyes to the idea that AI is not meant to replace teachers but to serve as a partner in creating more meaningful, efficient, and contextual learning experiences. The knowledge gained will be highly valuable to develop within FKIP Unram,” she said.
The participation of FKIP Unram’s Mathematics Education lecturer in this national program aligns with the study program’s vision to develop research-based, globally oriented mathematics education through innovative learning rooted in ethnosasambo values. Active involvement in such international-scale training strengthens the program’s role in building the capacity of professional educators ready to face the challenges of 21st-century education.
