Regular (DeepSeek-V3) Model
The latest regular model of DeepSeek can meet daily needs and can be used without enabling other switches.
Deep Thinking (R1)
DeepSeek’s advanced reasoning model mimics the human brain by outlining specific thought processes, suitable for solving complex problems.
Enabling this feature is like giving DeepSeek a “brain” for deep thinking. When you consult it on lesson preparation issues, it will organize thoughts in its “mind” like an experienced teacher, providing not only answers but also showing the thought process. Combined with the powerful ability to retrieve external knowledge bases in real-time, it significantly enhances the accuracy and professionalism of answers, making it extremely practical for analyzing complex subject knowledge and discussing teaching methods. It is strongly recommended to enable this during lesson preparation.
Online Search
This feature can connect to the internet in real-time, obtaining the latest educational news, cutting-edge teaching cases, and authoritative academic research results. For example, if you want to understand the detailed interpretation of the latest curriculum standards or find innovative teaching cases closely related to textbook content, it can quickly help you find them, injecting fresh ideas into your lesson preparation. Currently, due to certain reasons, Deepseek’s online search service is intermittent.
Attachment Upload:
You can upload local files (supporting various documents and images) to provide references or conduct analyses for DeepSeek’s responses.

DeepSeekApplications in Education
1. Lesson Preparation
Lesson preparation is one of the core tasks of teachers, but it is also the most time-consuming part. DeepSeek can help you:
-
Automatically generate lesson plans: Enter the course topic and teaching objectives, and DeepSeek will generate a complete lesson plan framework based on your needs, including teaching objectives, teaching steps, classroom activities, and assessment methods.
-
Resource recommendations: Based on your course content, DeepSeek will automatically recommend relevant teaching resources such as slides, videos, exercises, etc., saving you the time spent on searching.
-
Personalized adjustments: You can have DeepSeek personalize the lesson plan according to class characteristics, such as adding interactive sections or simplifying complex concepts.
Note: When writing prompts, following the pattern “Specify role + Refine task + State specific requirements” will help DeepSeek accurately understand your needs.
Example⇩
Prompt:Assume you are a senior middle school math teacher with 20 years of experience, preparing lessons for the eighth-grade chapter on the Pythagorean theorem. Please help me collect materials that include interesting introductory cases, detailed demonstrations of various proof methods, and after-class extension exercises, with question difficulty suitable for average-level students, and organize the materials into a clear document format with explicit labels for each section.
2. Classroom Teaching
DeepSeek is not only your lesson preparation assistant but also your classroom management tool:
-
Real-time interaction: In class, you can use DeepSeek to generate quizzes to assess students’ understanding in real-time.
-
Data tracking: DeepSeek will record students’ classroom performance, including participation, focus, and accuracy, helping you adjust teaching strategies in a timely manner.
-
Engaging teaching: Utilize DeepSeek’s creative features, such as generating interesting stories or knowledge quizzes, to make the classroom more lively and enjoyable.
Example⇩
Prompt:For chemistry teachers, oxidation-reduction is an important teaching content. Please design some interesting stories or knowledge quizzes that allow students to easily grasp the knowledge and make the class more lively and interesting.
3. Assigning and Grading Homework
Effectively use DeepSeek in assigning, grading, and providing feedback on homework to reduce teacher workload.
-
Supports various question types: Whether multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, or short answer, DeepSeek can quickly assign and grade, providing detailed scoring reports.
-
Error analysis: DeepSeek will automatically analyze students’ incorrect answers, generate a collection of mistakes, and provide targeted learning suggestions.
Example⇩
Homework Assignment Phase
The teacher inputs the knowledge point (e.g., “Application of Trigonometric Function Formulas”), difficulty level (middle/high school), and question type requirements, and DeepSeek will automatically generate accompanying practice questions.
Prompt:Please help me generate (basic questions + extension questions) homework based on the chapter on trigonometric functions for middle school, with basic question types assessing students’ foundational knowledge and extension questions slightly more difficult, referring to the middle school examination questions from Guizhou Province regarding trigonometric functions.
Homework Grading Phase
Large-scale homework grading can utilize tablets, allowing students to submit multiple-choice answers via a questionnaire. Teachers can export students’ submitted Excel answer sheets (including student ID, multiple-choice answers) into DeepSeek, which will complete grading for thousands of students within a minute and automatically generate a correctness heatmap.
Prompt:Please help me quickly grade the student homework in the Excel document data I submitted, with each row being one student’s answers, quickly grading and analyzing mistakes, and using the mistake statistics to create a correctness heatmap using HTML.
In addition to the three common teaching applications mentioned above,
DeepSeek can also assist teachers in
answering questions, teaching reflection, resource integration, etc.
However, it is important to note that
AI-generated content may contain errors,
and teachers should use their own experience to make judgments and adjustments when using it.
Do not rely on it completely!

DeepSeek Lesson Preparation Precautions
1
Three Don’ts Principle
Incorrect Practices:
-
Directly copying the teaching design of a master teacher
-
Blindly using original questions from a certain publisher’s workbook
-
Using unauthorized online images/videos
Correct Practices: Generated content should be processed further, incorporating your own teaching cases and replacing copyrighted content with open-source materials. AI-generated quiz questions should have ambiguous options manually excluded and include open-ended questions to assess higher-order thinking.

Data Security Precautions
-
Never input student information (to avoid uploading sensitive information such as student names, grades, etc.)
-
Do not upload internal school documents
-
Avoid probing sensitive topics
