Chatgpt'nin konuya özgü yazma görevlerini değerlendirerek ve geri bildirim sağlayarak lise öğrencilerinin yazma becerilerini geliştirmek için kullanımı

The integration of artificial intelligence technology in language teaching has emerged as a potential method to improve students' writing skills in today's digital era. This study aims to decide whether using ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence-integrated chatbot, is an effective method to improve high school students' writing skills or not. The study was carried out with 30 students in a state high school. The research employed a quasi-experimental approach, which included a pre-test, post-test, and a control group. The study utilized both quantitative and qualitative research methods. Participants were given 6 consecutive writing tasks and got feedback from their teacher and ChatGPT. Both the feedback they got and overall scores compared to reach the study's goal. After completing writing tasks, students who got their feedback from ChatGPT were given a questionnaire to evaluate their experience. In the qualitative part of the study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 8 participants from the experimental group. The data analysis involved the steps of "description, analysis, interpretation." The findings of the study indicated that using ChatGPT for feedback on students' writing tasks can lead to more significant, consistent, and sudden improvements in student writing performance compared to traditional feedback. Students in the interviews indicated that receiving feedback in a supportive, non-judgmental environment made them feel safe and less stressed. ChatGPT, by providing anonymous, instant feedback, can help reduce the stress and anxiety often associated with traditional classroom feedback. These results support the integration of AI-driven feedback systems in language education settings to complement existing teaching methods, offering scalable and personalized support to enhance student learning outcomes.
