Abstract

The integration of ChatGPT in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing instruction remains a relatively under-researched area, particularly in the Indonesian higher education context. This study explores the dual nature of ChatGPT—as both a pedagogical aid and a potential challenge—for undergraduate English education students at a university in Central Java. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected from thirty-two participants through a close-response questionnaire to gain insights into their perceptions and experiences. The findings indicate that the use of ChatGPT enhanced students’ writing confidence, time efficiency, and overall quality of written output. Students reported that ChatGPT facilitated idea generation, improved sentence coherence, and served as a valuable tool for self-editing. However, the study also identified several drawbacks, including overreliance on the tool, diminished critical and creative thinking, and concerns about the authenticity and accuracy of AI-generated content. To mitigate these issues, students engaged in peer review, expert consultation, and cross-referencing with credible sources to validate the generated material. The study emphasizes the importance of guiding students toward responsible and reflective use of artificial intelligence in academic writing. Pedagogical implications highlight the need for integrating ethical AI literacy, promoting critical engagement with AI-generated content, and fostering awareness of academic integrity. Ultimately, while ChatGPT presents significant opportunities for enhancing EFL writing pedagogy, its implementation must be thoughtfully managed to ensure it supports, rather than replaces, human cognitive and linguistic development.

Abstract

This study assessed the operations management of Local Government Unit (LGU) slaughterhouses in the Bicol Region. It specifically examined: compliance with standards in human resources, marketing, finance, and operations;  priority management areas for intervention; and recommendations for improvement. Data were gathered through surveys, interviews, and observations, with 161 slaughterhouse operators as respondents, and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Findings indicate that most LGU slaughterhouses do not fully comply with government standards. Slaughterhouses in Iriga, Legazpi, and Tabaco partially meet standards but lack complete facilities, including drainage, lagoons, sterilizers, and meat handling equipment. Cleaning is insufficient, leaving floors unhygienic, while personnel evaluation and training are not conducted. Marketing services are limited, with no “bantay karne” (meat watcher) programs or public awareness campaigns. Revenue and service pricing are guided by local ordinances. Conversely, slaughterhouses in Ligao, Naga, and Sorsogon comply with standards due to good manufacturing practices (GMP), sanitation programs, complete facilities, and trained personnel with performance evaluations. Priority areas needing improvement include human resource management, marketing services, financial procedures, and facility maintenance. The study recommends implementing personnel evaluations, training programs for “bantay karne,” improved sanitation practices, and a quality management monitoring checklist to identify and address gaps. Annual monitoring is proposed to ensure consistent improvements in LGU-operated slaughterhouses.
