Abstract

The growth and integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the educational sector have been controversial. Recently, a new development called Chat Generative Pre-training Transformer (ChatGPT) has been gaining popularity, particularly among students. With this, many researchers are curious about the range of what it can do. Employing a systematic review of literature, this study aimed to identify the advantages and disadvantages of ChatGPT in the essay writing of students. Google Scholar was the main online database that was used. The screening and identification of articles utilized the inclusion-exclusion criteria and a PRISMA flowchart guide which yielded six (6) articles that were analyzed for the review. Through the Repertory Grid, the contrasts and similarities of the articles were identified. The findings of the study disclosed that one advantage of ChatGPT provides automated feedback. Further, the disadvantages of ChatGPT are the risk of plagiarism and the dependence and reliance of the students on the tool. While ChatGPT provides advantages and disadvantages in the essay writing of students, there are many considerations regarding the usage of this AI tool.

Abstract

This research presents an investigation of how the application of the digital substitution, augmentation, modification, redefinition (SAMR)-based scaffolding might be used to support first-semester basic writing students in overcoming challenges related to grammar proficiency and descriptive writing. A mixed-methods sequential explanatory design was used with 40 students enrolled in English language courses. Quantitative data were obtained through a 14-item Likert-type questionnaire measuring SAMR integration and challenges faced, while qualitative analysis was conducted on semi-structured interview data using NVivo to code thematically. The scores for all implementation indicators indicate that high average values were obtained (global M=3.37), indicating that SAMR-based activities and scaffolding were viewed as useful and engaging for supporting descriptive writing. The level of challenges was perceived as low to moderate (mean=2.59 overall). The key issues were that lecturers needed to offer more consistent support, access to devices was restricted, and students had uneven digital skills. Thematic results identified growth in grammatical consciousness, development of short texts, and creativity as projects that resulted in multimodal outcomes and student involvement. The research also underscores the importance of strong institutional structures and continued support for teaching. It concludes that employing SAMR-informed digital scaffolding is a strategy with the potential to support writing instruction through technology.
