Exploring EFL Students’ AI Literacy in Academic Writing: Insights into Familiarity, Knowledge and Ethical Perceptions
I'm excited to share our latest research published in the Journal of Theoretical Educational Science, investigating AI literacy among Turkish EFL students in the context of academic writing. Below you'll find the abstract, highlighting the significant findings and contributions of this study. For a comprehensive exploration of the study, please visit my webpage linked below.
Abstract: As artificial intelligence increasingly impacts educational contexts, this research examines Turkish EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students' familiarity, knowledge, and ethical perceptions concerning AI technologies utilized in academic writing. Through a descriptive exploratory approach involving 427 students from two Turkish universities, the study reveals moderate AI familiarity and substantial reliance on AI for translation and grammar checking. Despite acknowledging the benefits of AI tools in enhancing academic writing quality, students exhibited limited technical proficiency and comprehension of the underlying AI technologies, emphasizing the necessity for structured AI literacy education within EFL curricula. This research contributes valuable insights to the discourse on integrating AI into language education, offering recommendations for educators, researchers, and policymakers.
