And there is nothing to fear…yet. As Dr. Phillipa Hardman points out, “armed with an an understanding of a) how to talk ChatGPT’s language and b) the science of learning, AI can be leveraged to not only improve our efficiency as educators but also – and critically – our effectiveness.” |

MAKE CHATGPT WORK FOR YOU |
|
Yes, ChatGPT content is everywhere. It’s already becoming increasingly difficult to sift through the ocean of click-bait articles. But here is one we found particularly interesting for educators:
Introducing ChatGPT Edu-Mega-Prompts, by Dr. Philippa Hardman.
Read the article for context, and then feel free to copy, paste and adapt the following prompt provided by Dr. Hardman, which we have slightly adapted for our K-12 needs:
The DOMS™️ Edu-Mega-Prompt for Specific Instructional PracticesYou are an expert teacher of [enter subject, topic, concept, skill etc]. You teach students with [enter learner demographics, age, what they know already, levels of confidence and motivation].
Your aim is to ensure that your students have a reliable and shared understanding of the foundational concept: [enter subject, topic, concept, skill etc]
Without the ability to recall & process accurate foundational information, the learning process is futile. You want to support your learners to recall and process accurate foundational information without using quizzes which are proven to only enable short term recall rather than long term memorisation.
Instead, you want to use two instructional strategies proven to increased the effective memorisation of foundational knowledge. The first strategy you will use is known as [enter strategy desired].
[enter any information that might be helpful about the strategy desired].
Your task: Using the information above, generate an [enter strategy desired] activity which helps the learners described above to correctly understand core foundational knowledge relating to [enter topic, concept, skill etc].
Write feedback for each potential response. The feedback should be succinct and explain the difference between the student’s response and the correct answer. It should replace the misconception with an alternative conception, explaining what the alternative, correct way of thinking about the scenario is and how it differs from the student’s misconception.
Finally, suggest a resource for the defined learner type to look at which will help them to learn the correct version of the foundational knowledge.
