SayPro Smart Topic Extraction Framework
Title: Extracting 100 Learning and Development Topics per Session Using GPT
Prepared by: SayPro Learning Outcome Studies Research Office
Under the Authority of: SayPro Research Royalty (SCRR)
Overview
To support rapid curriculum development, learner engagement analysis, and thematic alignment with SayPro’s Learning Outcomes, SayPro uses GPT-powered prompt engineering to extract comprehensive lists of 100 learning or development-related topics per session.
This process ensures:
- Scalable content generation across sectors and countries.
- Identification of emerging themes and learner interests.
- Enhanced curriculum mapping and cross-sectoral programme design.
How the Process Works
✅ Step 1: Input Collection
Each GPT session begins with an input such as:
- Learner feedback (e.g. journals, reflection surveys)
- Training transcripts or facilitator notes
- Open-ended responses from M&E tools
- Sector-based skill frameworks (e.g., youth development, entrepreneurship)
✅ Step 2: GPT Prompt Engineering
Custom prompts are designed for SayPro’s needs:
- “Extract 100 relevant training topics mentioned or implied in this document.”
- “List development themes present in this session, grouped by category.”
- “Identify transferable skills and soft skills emerging from the discussion.”
✅ Step 3: GPT Output and Verification
GPT generates a draft list of 100 topics, which is then:
- Clustered into categories (e.g., digital skills, leadership, community development)
- Checked for duplication, relevance, and alignment with SayPro learning outcomes
- Reviewed by the Learning Outcome Studies team for refinement
Example Output: 100 Learning or Development Topics (Grouped)
