Regular (DeepSeek-V3) model
DeepSeek’s latest regular model can meet daily needs and can be used without turning on other switches.
Deep Thinking (R1)
DeepSeek’s advanced reasoning model mimics the human brain to enumerate 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 its thoughts like an experienced teacher in its “mind,” providing not only answers but also displaying the thought process. Coupled with the powerful ability to retrieve external knowledge in real time, the accuracy and professionalism of the answers are greatly enhanced, making it extremely practical for analyzing complex subject knowledge and discussing teaching methods. It is strongly recommended to enable this in lesson preparation.
Online Search
This feature can connect to the internet in real time to obtain 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 blood into your lesson preparation. Currently, due to certain reasons, DeepSeek’s online search service is intermittent.
File Upload:
You can upload local files (supporting various documents and images) to provide references or conduct analysis for DeepSeek’s answers.

Application of DeepSeek in Education
1. Lesson Preparation
Preparing lessons 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 presentations, videos, exercises, etc., saving you time searching.
-
Personalized adjustments: You can ask DeepSeek to personalize the lesson plan according to class characteristics, such as adding interactive segments or simplifying complex concepts.
Note: When writing prompts, following the pattern “define role + specify task + state specific requirements” can help DeepSeek accurately understand your needs.
Example⇩
Prompt: Assume you are a senior middle school math teacher with 20 years of teaching experience, preparing lessons for the Pythagorean theorem in the eighth-grade textbook. Please help me gather materials that include interesting introductory cases, detailed demonstrations of various proof methods, and after-class extension exercises, with questions suitable for students of medium difficulty, and organize the materials into a clear document format, with clear 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.
-
Fun teaching: Utilize DeepSeek’s creative functions, such as generating fun stories or knowledge quizzes, to make the classroom more lively and interesting.
Example⇩
Prompt: For chemistry teachers, oxidation-reduction is an important teaching content. Please design some fun stories or knowledge quizzes to help students easily grasp the knowledge and make the classroom more lively and interesting.
3. Assignment Distribution and Grading
Make good use of DeepSeek in assignment distribution, grading, and feedback to reduce teacher workload.
-
Supports various question types: Whether it is multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, or short answer questions, DeepSeek can quickly distribute and grade them and provide detailed scoring reports.
-
Error analysis: DeepSeek will automatically analyze students’ errors, generate an error collection, and provide targeted learning suggestions.
Example⇩
Assignment Distribution Stage
Teachers input knowledge points (such as “application of trigonometric function formulas”), difficulty levels (middle school/high school), and question type requirements, and DeepSeek will automatically generate matching practice questions.
Prompt: Please help me generate (basic questions + extension questions) assignments based on the chapter on trigonometric functions for middle school, with basic questions assessing students’ mastery of fundamental knowledge, and extension questions that are slightly more difficult, which can refer to the middle school exam questions on trigonometric functions from Guizhou Province.
Grading Stage
Large-scale assignment grading can be done using tablets, allowing students to submit answers to multiple-choice questions through a questionnaire format. Teachers can export the students’ submitted Excel answer sheets (including student ID and multiple-choice answers) into DeepSeek, and the system can complete grading for thousands of students within one minute, automatically generating a correctness heatmap.
Prompt: Please quickly grade the student assignments in the Excel document data I submitted based on the answers I provided, with each row representing a student’s answers, and help me quickly grade and analyze the error situation, using HTML to draw the correctness heatmap based on the error statistics.
In addition to the above three common teaching applications,
DeepSeek can also help teachers with
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 judge and adjust when using it.
Do not rely on it entirely!

DeepSeek Lesson Preparation Precautions
1
Three Do Not Principles
Incorrect Practices:
-
Directly copy the teaching design of a certain top teacher.
-
Copy original questions from a certain publisher’s exercise book.
-
Use unauthorized online images/videos.
Correct Practices: Generated content should be processed again, adding your own teaching cases and replacing copyrighted content with open-source materials. AI-generated quiz questions should manually exclude ambiguous options and include open-ended questions to assess higher-order thinking.

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