INVESTIGATING THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THESIS WRITING OF ENGLISH EDUCATION STUDY PROGRAM STUDENTS AT SRIWIJAYA UNIVERSITY
The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a recent situation where many students use it to ease them in doing academic tasks. While it could aid students in their learning, there is a potential that it could hinder their creativity in accomplishing tasks, particularly thesis. This qualitative study investigated the use of AI in thesis writing of final semester students of English Education Study Program at Sriwijaya University. It aims to find out how students sort out and use information from AI in thesis writing as well as the challenges they encountered when using AI. There were 10 students who participated in the study. The data were obtained from semi-structured interview and analyzed thematically through coding by using the framework from Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014). The findings highlighted three key points. First, students sorted out information from AI by considering its alignment with their thesis topic and by still using contents from AI. Second, when students would like to use AI-generated information, they paraphrased it and aligned it with their thesis. Third, various challenges which students encountered were complex AI language, inaccurate information, overgeneralization of AI-generated information, limited access to AI features, and discrepancy between the generated information and students’ expectation. The findings indicated that most students did not rely mainly on AI in thesis writing. This study provided recommendations for lecturers, students, educational institutions, and future researchers in ELT.
