Abstract

In the ever-evolving realm of higher education, the art and science of crafting questions—known as “prompt engineering”—is emerging as a cornerstone of effective teaching. Amidst debates about curricula, teaching methodologies, and technological interventions, the humble prompt stands out as a pivotal tool in shaping student thinking, engagement, and learning outcomes. The book, “Prompt Engineering 101 for Educators,” is not just a guide but a testament to the power of well-crafted questions. Here’s why it holds unparalleled relevance for today’s educators. For educators, mastering the art of prompt engineering is akin to having a Swiss army knife of pedagogical tools. Whether it’s catalysing classroom discussions, assessing understanding, or pushing students to think beyond the textbook, the right prompt can be an educator’s most potentially. One of the key insights from the book is the diverse range of prompts available to educators. From closed to open, recall-based to inferential, and analytical to reflective, each type of prompt serves a unique purpose. By understanding and employing this diverse toolkit, educators can cater to the multifaceted nature of student learning. Every student comes with their individual strengths, challenges, and learning preferences. While one might thrive on analytical challenges, another might resonate more with reflective introspection. “Prompt Engineering 101 for Educators” empowers educators to cater to this diversity, crafting a learning experience that’s both inclusive and challenging for all.
