Any element in $mathbbF_p^k$can be represented as $sum_i=0^k-1 a_i b_i$ where $a_i in F_p$ and $b_i$ is a basis. What is the particular value of $b_i$??

So as an $mathbf F_p$-vector space.

@mallea yes, because $mathbbF_p^k$ is a vector space over $mathbbF_p^l$ whenever $l$ divides $k$.

The finite field $mathbf F_p^k$ is generated, as an $mathbf F_p$-algebra, by a root $omega$ of an irreducible polynomial of degree $k$.
Such polynomials are irreducible factors of degree $k$, $ne X$, of the polynomial $X^p^k-X$.
A basis of $mathbf F_p^k$ over $mathbf F_p$ is then the set
$$mathcal B=1,omega, omega^2,dots omega^k-1.$$
