Abstract

The rapid digital transformation in education requires teachers to possess strong digital literacy to support meaningful and technology-integrated learning. However, many primary school teachers in rural areas still face limitations in utilizing digital tools and artificial intelligence for instructional purposes. This community service program aimed to improve teachers’ digital literacy to support the implementation of deep learning in primary education. The program was conducted in Timpik Tourism Village, Semarang Regency, involving 25 teachers from local primary schools. Training activities were implemented using the ADDIE model through needs analysis, training design, workshops on AI-based learning tools, and evaluation. The results indicated that the program improved teachers’ digital competencies with an average evaluation score of 3.53 categorized as very good. Participants demonstrated improved ability to utilize digital platforms for instructional design and assessment. This program strengthens teachers’ readiness for deep learning implementation and promotes educational innovation in rural communities.
