Abstract

In the era of rapid advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer) emerges as a pivotal tool reshaping educational landscapes. This research, based on self-determination theory, investigates how ChatGPT influences the motivation and academic performance of 35 seventh-semester English education students. Utilizing mixed methods, it contrasts the experiences of 25 ChatGPT users with those of 10 non-users. The quantitative analysis demonstrates notably higher levels of motivation and GPAs among ChatGPT users (with a mean motivation score of 44.88 and a mean GPA of 3.63) compared to non-users (with a mean motivation score of 17.60 and a mean GPA of 3.06). Qualitative insights highlight themes such as 'Improved Comprehension and Independent Learning' and 'Increased Academic Efficiency and Productivity,' illustrating how ChatGPT supports effective and thorough learning experiences. In keeping with the tenets of self-determination theory, these results demonstrate that ChatGPT has a beneficial effect on students' motivation. The study also recommends more experimental studies to investigate how students' motivation and performance can be improved by using ChatGPT.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of the THIEVES strategy in enhancing students’ critical reading comprehension in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context, particularly at the senior high school level. Employing a quasi-experimental research design, the study involved two groups: an experimental group taught using the THIEVES strategy and a control group that received conventional reading instruction commonly applied in the classroom. The participants consisted of tenth-grade students of SMA Muhammadiyah 8 Gresik who were selected to represent learners with similar academic backgrounds. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests that were specifically designed to measure students’ critical reading comprehension skills, including their ability to identify main ideas, infer meaning, and evaluate textual information. The findings revealed that students in the experimental group showed significantly higher improvement in post-test scores compared to those in the control group. Statistical analysis using paired-sample and independent-sample t-tests confirmed that the observed improvement was statistically significant and not due to chance. These results indicate that the THIEVES strategy effectively promotes active engagement, critical analysis, and deeper comprehension of reading texts. Therefore, the strategy is strongly recommended as an effective instructional approach for improving students’ critical reading skills in EFL classrooms.
