Utilization of Leonardo AI in Developing Teaching Materials for Islamic Religious Education Students: Case Study at FTIK UIN Datokarama Palu

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the use of Leonardo AI in developing teaching materials for Islamic Religious Education (PAI) students at the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training (FTIK) UIN Datokarama Palu. Using a survey approach, this study collected data from 50 students who had used Leonardo AI in the learning process. The results showed that the use of Leonardo AI significantly improved the quality and effectiveness of teaching materials and enriched students' learning experiences. As many as 85% of respondents stated that Leonardo AI helped create more exciting and interactive materials, while 80% stated that their understanding of the material increased. However, several technical obstacles and a need for more training in using this application were also identified. These findings suggest that although AI technology can provide significant educational benefits, additional support is needed to overcome existing challenges.
