Abstract

Undergraduate thesis is the final task that must be submitted by students of the English Study Program at Hamzanwadi University as proof of their achievement in conducting scientific research. However, the process of writing an undergraduate thesis often causes anxiety since the students come from an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. This study aimed to analyze the level and types of anxiety. A descriptive quantitative approach was used in this study. The study involved 20 students as participants. The researchers distributed questionnaires to identify the students’ anxiety level and types of anxiety during the process of undergraduate thesis writing. According to the findings from the questionnaires, the students experienced a severe level of anxiety, with the dominant types being somatic anxiety, followed by cognitive anxiety and avoidance behaviour. Therefore, it is necessary to provide strategies to improve students’ competence and self-confidence so that they can produce a qualified final task.

Abstract

The research investigates the use of ChatGPT by EFL learners for their thesis writing in Hamzanwadi University. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was utilized whereby quantitative data were collected through questionnaires from 55 participants who are in the eighth semester while qualitative data were obtained from semi-structured interviews conducted with five purposive respondents. The study results showed a high level of functional reliance on ChatGPT with respect to the ability to understand certain complex theories, improve the grammar, and write paragraphs among students. Yet, psychological and cognitive dependence of students were at moderate levels. Hence, students are able to retain their critical thinking abilities and independence in academic pursuits and consider AI as their cooperating language helper rather than cognitive worker's replacement. Such a phenomenon that may be called "Controlled Reliance" proves that expansion of AI technologies application is not a reason for the lack of independent thinking. Therefore, the higher education institutions are encouraged to devise AI literacy courses aimed at enhancing the usage of artificial intelligence rather than prohibitive measures.
