Abstract

The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI) fundamentally challenges traditional literary paradigms that burden the modern reader with authenticating the text's source. This study empirically investigates the reception of AI-generated flash fiction (Text A) and human-written flash fiction (Text B) by 16 4th Semester English Literature students at Universitas Ngudi Waluyo. The research utilizes a mixed-methods approach grounded in Hans Robert Jauss’s reception theory, particularly the concept of the horizon of expectations. The core research methodology employs a "mirrored prompt" approach to ensure high internal validity, giving the human and AI authors the same core narrative and emotional task. The questionnaire analyzed the students' literary experience, Technological Horizons, and Interpretative Horizons. The results show a consistent and significant preference for Text B (Human-written) across all measured dimensions of the Interpretative Horizon, particularly in terms of emotion and stylistics, compared to Text A. Eleven out of 16 students (68.75%) accurately identified Text A as AI-generated and Text B as human-written. Qualitative data reveal that students critique text A for its lack of affective resonance, while text B has a "natural and flowing style”. This finding empirically validates that the reader’s interpretative horizon, particularly the expectation for deep emotion and unique style, is the primary factor in determining the perceived authenticity of a text, thus updating Jauss's theory to include the challenge of algorithmic works. The accuracy rate (68.75%) is significantly higher than previously reported research, suggesting that academic literary competence may increase the ability to discern AI-generated fiction.

Abstract

Metacognitive strategies have demonstrated positive correlations with writing performance in educational contexts, particularly through planning, monitoring, and evaluating processes. However, existing research predominantly examines final writing products rather than students' actual strategy implementation patterns and perceptions during argumentative essay composition. This study investigated which metacognitive strategy aspects students most frequently employed and how they perceived these strategies in completing writing projects. Employing descriptive qualitative methodology, data were collected through questionnaires from 20 university students enrolled in a genre-based writing course, supplemented by interviews exploring their perceptions analyzed with thematic analysis. Findings revealed self-evaluation as the most consistently implemented aspect (95% for linguistic checking), while self-monitoring demonstrated the lowest and most variable utilization (45% for structural attention). Planning received moderate engagement, with reading before writing practiced by 85% of students, but visual planning by only 25%. Perceptual analysis uncovered a paradox: students recognized consultation and revision as essential yet perceived planning as temporally inefficient. This study concludes that metacognitive awareness does not automatically translate to strategic implementation, revealing a critical gap between declarative knowledge and procedural execution. These findings necessitate pedagogical shifts toward explicit self-monitoring training and demonstrate that metacognitive competence constitutes a fragmented, context-dependent construct requiring integrated instructional approaches beyond isolated strategy awareness.
