Abstract

Reading interest is a fundamental factor in the success of learning at the elementary school level. However, data from UNESCO, the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), and the 2019 PISA results indicate that Indonesia's literacy rate and reading interest remain relatively low. Amid the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), a question arises as to whether conversational AI applications such as Dola can be utilized to support elementary school students' reading interest. This study aims to analyze the difference in reading interest among fourth-grade students before and after the use of AI Dola at SDN 3 Gondang. The study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental Nonequivalent Control Group Design, involving 43 fourth-grade students divided into an experimental group (20 students) and a control group (23 students). Data were collected using a reading interest questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.740), then analyzed through normality tests, homogeneity tests, and an Independent Sample T-Test using SPSS version 25. The results showed no significant difference in reading interest between the experimental and control groups after the treatment (t = 0.529; Sig. 2-tailed = 0.600 > 0.05), meaning the Null Hypothesis (H0) was accepted and the Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) was rejected. This finding is presumably influenced by the relatively short treatment duration (four sessions), students' initial reading interest already being at a moderate level, and limited adaptation to the new technology. This study recommends that AI Dola be used to complement, rather than replace, conventional learning methods, accompanied by teacher guidance and a longer implementation duration in future research.
