Design and implementation of a Game-Based Activity to promote Learning of Prompt Engineering
This playful method provides a new approach to teaching artificial intelligence technologies in higher engineering education, promoting student interaction and engagement.
Abstract
Introduction: This study explores the implementation of a gamified activity focused on teaching the fundamentals of Prompt Engineering to engineering students using ChatGPT technology. The goal was to maximize learning through a gamified approach that encouraged teamwork and creative iteration. Methodology: A four-phase process was designed that involved understanding, identifying, and correcting errors in prompts, and creating and validating prompts of their own using ChatGPT. Findings: The results demonstrated an increase in understanding and effective application of Prompt Engineering principles among the participants. Conclusions: This playful method provides a new approach to teaching artificial intelligence technologies in higher engineering education, promoting student interaction and engagement.
