Prompt Engineering - Teaching Request
Apply this prompt engineering principle, Teaching Request or Test Understanding, to get better prompt results and to boost your efficiency.
Prompt Engineering Principle 15 - Teaching Request or Test Understanding - involves crafting prompts that encourage the AI to engage in teaching or explaining a concept, followed by testing the user's understanding with a quiz or questions. This approach is particularly effective for educational content or when you want to reinforce learning.
Here's how you can apply this principle in practice:
Without Principle 15 - Teaching Request or Test Understanding:
Prompt: "Explain the concept of supply and demand."
With Principle 15 - Teaching Request or Test Understanding:
Prompt: "Teach me the concept of supply and demand in economics. After your explanation, include a short quiz with three questions to test my understanding of the topic."
Without Principle 15 - Teaching Request or Test Understanding:
Prompt: "Describe the theory of relativity."
With Principle 15 - Teaching Request or Test Understanding:
Prompt: "Teach me Einstein's theory of relativity in a simple and understandable way. Following your explanation, provide a few scenarios as questions to see if I can apply the theory correctly."
Without Principle 15 - Teaching Request or Test Understanding:
Prompt: "Provide some basic phrases in Spanish."
With Principle 15 - Teaching Request or Test Understanding:
Prompt: "Teach me five basic conversational phrases in Spanish. After each phrase, ask me a question that I can answer using one of the phrases to practice and reinforce my learning."
In each of these examples, Principle 15, - Teaching Request or Test Understanding, is applied by transforming the prompt into an educational session, complete with a follow-up test or quiz. This method not only imparts knowledge but also actively engages the user in applying what they've learned, thereby enhancing retention, and understanding.
