Learning to Use AI for Learning: Teaching Responsible Use of AI Chatbot to K-12 Students Through an AI Literacy Module

Relevance: 9/10 1 cited 2025 paper

This paper presents an LLM-based instructional module to teach prompting literacy to K-12 students through scenario-based practice with AI chatbots, deployed across 11 secondary education classrooms. The study evaluates an AI auto-grader's capability to assess student prompts, measures changes in students' prompting performance and confidence in using AI for learning, and analyzes the quality of assessment materials.

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into daily life, there is a growing need to equip the next generation with the ability to apply, interact with, evaluate, and collaborate with AI systems responsibly. Prior research highlights the urgent demand from K-12 educators to teach students the ethical and effective use of AI for learning. To address this need, we designed an Large-Language Model (LLM)-based module to teach prompting literacy. This includes scenario-based de
