The Effectiveness of Mathematics Learning Media Developed with Artificial Intelligence (AI) Assistance in Training Basic Arithmetic Skills

Limited integration of artificial intelligence into elementary
mathematics instruction continues to constrain opportunities for
students to develop basic arithmetic skills through engaging learning
experiences. Addressing this challenge, the present study examined the
effectiveness of AI-assisted mathematics learning media developed
through the pedagogical integration of ChatGPT and Canva AI for
second-grade students. A quantitative pre-experimental approach
employing a one-group pretest-posttest design was implemented with
25 participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were
collected using expert validation sheets and students' arithmetic
achievement tests. The learning media and assessment instruments
were first evaluated for validity, after which students completed pretest
and posttest assessments. Data analysis was performed using
descriptive statistics, normality testing, and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank
Test. Expert evaluation classified both the learning media and the
assessment instrument as highly valid, confirming their suitability for
classroom implementation. Students' arithmetic achievement improved
significantly following the intervention, demonstrating that the
developed learning media effectively strengthened basic arithmetic
skills. These findings indicate that the educational value of generative
AI extends beyond content generation by supporting the design of
interactive, visually engaging, and learner-centered mathematics
instruction. Integrating ChatGPT and Canva AI therefore represents a
promising instructional approach for enhancing foundational numeracy
learning in elementary education.
