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

This paper describes the design and classroom evaluation of an LLM-based instructional module that teaches K-12 students prompting literacy through scenario-based practice with AI chatbots, including an AI auto-grader for evaluating student-written prompts. The study deployed the module across 11 secondary education classrooms in two iterations, measuring students' prompting performance improvements, confidence changes, and the effectiveness of different assessment question types.

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
