Integration Of Artificial Intelligence In Creative Writing Learning: An Exploratory Study Of The Impact On The Quality Of Student Narratives
Keywords:
Artificial Intelligence, Creative Writing, Narrative Quality, Digital Literacy, Technology-Enhanced LearningAbstract
This study explores the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) integration in creative writing instruction on the narrative quality of secondary school students. The primary focus includes analyzing cohesion, coherence, structure, language style, and originality in students' writings supported by AI and examining their perceptions toward using such technology. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research design combines quasi-experimental methods with qualitative inquiry. Data were collected through pretests and posttests, narrative writing analysis, classroom observations, and in-depth interviews with students and teachers. The findings reveal that AI tools such as ChatGPT and Grammarly significantly enhance the technical quality of students' writings. The experimental group using AI achieved an average score of 85.6 on a narrative assessment rubric, compared to 76.2 in the control group. However, originality and imagination showed variability depending on students’ strategies in utilizing AI. Additionally, concerns regarding language style homogenization and cognitive dependency emerged. Teachers play a crucial role in ensuring AI serves as a supportive tool that fosters creative thinking rather than replacing it. The study implies the necessity for a humanistic, contextual, and ethical model of AI integration in writing education. It also opens avenues for further research on developing digital literacy and reflective abilities among students in the evolving landscape of educational technology.
