Exploring Teachers' Perceptions of ChatGPT Through Prompt Engineering

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence and especially Large Language Models (LLM), such as ChatGPT has revolutionized the way educators work. The results we get from LLMs depend on how we ask them to help us. The process and the technique behind an effective input is called prompt engineering. The aim of this study is to investigate whether science educators in secondary education improve their attitude toward ChatGPT as a learning assistant after appropriate training in prompt engineering. The results of the pilot study presented in this paper show an improvement in the previously mentioned teachers perceptions.
