Madronero, Dennis Primne Corbita, Michelle Mendoza, Miriam Cordova ,Rosalie Balmas, and Carthelyn Adajar for the research publication titled “Factor Analysis of AI’s Impact on Academic Writing: A Study on ChatGPT’s Influence on Student Performance and Confidence” in Springer Publications.
This study examines the influence of ChatGPT on the development of the writing skills of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in Oman. Through the use of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) on data from 314 participants, three key factors emerged: Enhancing Essay Skills, AI in Education, and Optimizing Academic Writing. Together, these factors explain a substantial portion of the variability within the dataset, emphasizing ChatGPT's significant impact on both essay writing proficiency and broader educational outcomes.
This study sheds light on ChatGPT's influence in enhancing task response, providing clear feedback, and fostering collaborative learning and efficient time management among students. Additionally, it highlights the importance of integrating AI tools into learning outcomes and curricula, suggesting a transformative potential for educational practices.
This study advocates the effective integration of AI-driven methodologies in educational settings and promotes a comprehensive pedagogical approach.
