Chinese students confident in GenAI prompting, but strategies lack task specificity

A study of 234 university students in China revealed their perceived capabilities and strategies for using generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in academic tasks. Students generally felt confident in their ability to provide context and refine prompts, but their strategies showed little variation across different task types. The research indicated that perceived cognitive abilities were strongly linked to prompting confidence, while aligning prompt intent with desired outcomes remained a common difficulty. AI

IMPACT Highlights the need for tailored AI prompting education to improve student academic performance.
