Influence of Prompts Structure on the Perception and Enhancement of Learning through LLMs in Online Educational Contexts

This research examines how the structure of prompts impacts the perceived depth and accuracy of responses generated by generative Large Language Models (LLMs) in educational settings. It specifically investigates how prompt design influences students’ learning experiences. The study involved an expe...

It specifically investigates how prompt design influences students’ learning experiences. The study involved an experiment with 183 students enrolled in a mandatory Business Administration course at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC). Data from the experiment were analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The results show that well-structured prompts significantly improve students’ perception of the depth and accuracy of GenAI-generated responses, leading to a more effective learning process. This underscores the crucial role of prompt design in maximizing the educational effectiveness of GenAI. The findings suggest that thoughtful prompt design can enhance educational outcomes, although the study’s limited sample size and context-specific nature may restrict the generalizability of the results.
