Abstract

Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful artificial intelligence (AI) systems that promise to create new and innovative user experiences and applications in different contexts, including education. The integration of AI into everyday life is rapidly increasing. As LLM technologies, such as ChatGPT, become increasingly prevalent in educational settings, they can disrupt conventional teaching and learning methods rooted in legacy learning by offering personalized, dynamic, and interactive learning experiences. The presentation aims to report the work in progress of an experimental study investigating user engagement with LLMs using a real-world scenario to understand better the prompts end users use when interacting with LLMs. The study uses a multi-case methodology and collects data from a sample (n=30) of participants who are asked to use ChatGPT and complete a predefined task. This is followed by a short survey to collect data about their background and ChatGPT usage experience. Then, the researchers collected the prompts the participants used for further analysis. The collected prompts are analysed using several analytical techniques, such as lexical, semantic, and other qualitative measures, to gauge users’ GenAI proficiency levels and abilities. This analysis aims to uncover how end users’ prompts proficiency influences their user experience and interaction with GenAI tools. The results of this study will provide valuable insights into user engagement with generative AI tools, the metacognitive skills of the participants, their level of ChatGPT satisfaction, and the factors influencing their use of LLMs. The study findings will inform researchers and practitioners interested in end users' engagement with GenAI, including educational researchers and practitioners.
