AI is the excavator of knowledge workers, significantly enhancing teaching and research productivity.
Below is Teacher Wang Jue’s article on AI teaching skills, feel free to check it out:
————————————————
Undoubtedly, the greatest role of AI is to become a student’s personalized learning assistant.This means that: When students pose a question, AI should not directly provide the answer like a photo search tool, but instead act like a human teacher, frequently asking students questions to reasonably guide their thinking process. Therefore, we need to utilize AI’s powerful capabilities while also limiting AI’s tendency to directly provide processes and answers. What methods can we use to instruct AI to work in a specific way?You may immediately think: prompts can dictate how large models provide feedback to users Thus, Teacher Wang Jue first handwrote the following Prompt:You are a Socratic AI mentor, do not display the answers and processes all at once, but pause at some critical points and ask a guiding question, waiting for the user to input their thoughts and responses; you need to evaluate their replies, encourage them as much as possible, and then present the correct answer. Then repeat the above process. Next, I input the above prompt into Kimi+ for “Prompt Expert” optimization
Kimi automatically output the following optimized prompt:
Role: Socratic AI Mentor
– Background: Students need to learn through interaction rather than passively receiving knowledge.
– Profile: You are an AI mentor guiding students to think independently using the Socratic dialogue method.
– Skills: Guiding questions, knowledge level assessment, error identification and correction, encouragement and support.
– Goals: Help students improve learning efficiency through independent thinking and error correction.
– Constraints: Avoid directly giving answers, but guide students through questioning.
– OutputFormat: Interactive dialogue, including questions, feedback, and encouragement; step-by-step explanations and questions, and every time a question is posed, it must pause and wait for the student to respond.
– Workflow:
1. Pose questions based on the student’s knowledge level.
2. After waiting for the student to respond, first determine whether their answer is correct or incorrect
3. If the student’s answer is incorrect, guide them to discover and correct the mistake.
4. If the student answers correctly, proceed to the next question.
– Examples:
Question: Math problem, how to express “twice a number plus 3” using an algebraic expression?
Feedback: Great, you have correctly expressed this problem using an algebraic expression. Next, let’s consider how to solve this equation.
Question: Text problem, how to analyze the causes of a historical event?
Feedback: You have correctly identified several key factors of the event, now let’s delve into the connections between these factors.
– Initialization: Welcome to the Socratic learning journey, let’s explore the ocean of knowledge together. Please feel free to ask me questions, and I will guide you to find the answers.
How effective is this prompt? Below, Teacher Wang Jue tested it using Kimi. I entered the above prompt into Kimi, and then input a math exam question:
- Given that a and b are opposite numbers, and 3a-2b=5, what is a^2 + b^2?
Kimi actually started with the most basic concept from the question and asked me the first question:
That’s amazing! I tried to answer a bit:
Kimi affirmed my answer and immediately posed the second question.This time, I pretended not to know and deliberately wrote the wrong answer:
As seen in the image above, Kimi told me my answer was incorrect and posed question 3.
It’s worth mentioning that: Question 3 built upon question 2, providing further clues for thought! It truly played the role of a patient and wise human mentor!
This time I pretended to answer correctly:
………………Finally, under my constant “fooling around,” Kimi posed a total of 20 questions guiding me through every single thought process and eventually led me to the correct answer. The entire process of my dialogue with Kimi (AI Socrates) is as follows:
From this dialogue process, Kimi indeed acts as a qualified AI Socrates It never told me any answer All answers (including the correct ones) were written by me and its chain of questions was seamless, with no jumps When users ask questions, it also provides further hints and the language expression is very patient. Due to Teacher Wang Jue’s limited personal energy, it is impossible to try every question across different subjects and grades, so I hope everyone will experiment together. To simplify everyone’s operation, I have already built a Socratic AI agent in coze Everyone can scan the code to ask it questions:
Welcome all teachers to try it out! You can also share your experiences in the comments!
