Learning to Prompt in the Classroom to Understand AI Limits: A Pilot Study

Embracing the future of Artificial Intelligence in the classroom: the relevance of AI literacy, prompt engineering, and critical thinking in modern education

“…This approach not only deepens their understanding of the subject matter but also hones their critical thinking skills, an essential competency in today's fastpaced and ever-changing world. As one particular study showed, learning to prompt effectively in the classroom can even help students realize more about the limits of AI, which inevitably fosters their AI literacy (Theophilou et al, 2023). Moreover, AI has the potential to lead to highly interactive and playful teaching settings.…”

“…Teachers require training in prompt engineering and AI integration into curricula, which must be restructured for AI literacy. This multidisciplinary (Alkaissi et al, 2023;Ivanov, 2023;Katarzyna et al, 2023;Theophilou et al, 2023) AI Dependency Over-reliance on AI for problem solving, decision making, and cognitive tasks Foster a problem-based learning environment where students are encouraged to first use analytical reasoning before turning to AI solutions (Chan & Tsi, 2023;Groza & Marginean, 2023;Ivanov, 2023;Malik et al, 2023) AI Ethics Ethical dilemmas posed by AI, such as personal autonomy or discrimination Integrate ethics into the curriculum with a focus on AI-related issues, encouraging debate and discussion on ethical dilemmas (Akgun & Greenhow, 2022;Ivanov, 2023;Jeyaraman et al, 2023;Nguyen et al, 2023;Rane, 2023;Williams, 2021) Pace of Technology Problems with keeping up-to-date with the rapid technological changes and fears concerning displacements in the job market as well as academia Provide workshops for career guidance that emphasize adaptability and the importance of continuous learning in an AI-evolving job landscape. Teach an agile mindset and provide sources to learn the newest developments.…”

Artificial intelligence and social media on academic performance and mental well-being: Student perceptions of positive impact in the age of smart learning

“…Virtual agents endowed with AI capabilities can offer a suite of mental well-being services that are both individualized and broadly accessible. These AI-driven interventions range from non-judgmental listening and psychoeducation to evidence-based therapeutic strategies; and together with machine learning algorithms, they can refine these strategies by analyzing treatment-response data, thereby optimizing the likelihood of successful outcomes [ 54 ].…”

Artificial Intelligence in the Eyes of Society: Assessing Social Risk and Social Value Perception in a Novel Classification

“…Thanks to these features, AI algorithms can automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks, allowing individuals to focus on more critical activities, whereas generative AI techniques can also create from a simple prompt realistic text, images, music, and other media [2,3]. Concerning this, scholars have already recognized advancements brought by AI in various areas [4], such as finance [5], retail [6], healthcare [7], and education [8,9].…”
