Abstract

The challenge of mastering mathematics learning is a phenomenon experienced by every early childhood student, therefore innovation is needed in the implementation of learning, both in terms of media, methods, and learning approaches. The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology provides new opportunities for learning innovation, including in mathematics learning in early childhood education. This study aims to describe children's readiness to participate in AI-based mathematics learning. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach with subjects being children aged 5–6 years at an early childhood education institution that has implemented an AI-based mathematics learning application. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews with teachers and parents, and documentation. The results of the analysis show that children's readiness covers three main aspects: cognitive, social-emotional, and technological. Children show enthusiasm and interest when interacting with AI, but need guidance in understanding instructions and using the device. These findings indicate that adult involvement is very important in optimizing the AI-based learning process and ensuring an effective, adaptive, and enjoyable learning experience for children.
