Using AI Prompt Engineering to Improve Gifted Students’ Questioning

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more integrated into education, the ability to craft precise prompts, or “prompt engineering,” takes on new importance. Gifted students, with their natural creativity, analytical skills, and ability to connect ideas across disciplines, are well-positioned to excel in prompt engineering. Through specific questioning and follow-up prompts, gifted learners can deepen their engagement with AI, improving the quality and relevance of AI-generated responses. The introduction of models like CRAFT and strategies such as prompt chaining and flipped interaction patterns empower students to optimize their AI interactions, thus enhancing both their learning and problem-solving capabilities.
