The findings suggest that the use of ChatGPT may be associated with changes in students’ motivation toward academic writing and highlight the importance of promoting balanced and responsible use of AI tools in educational contexts.
Abstract
The increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT has transformed students’ academic writing practices. While ChatGPT offers various forms of writing assistance, its relationship with students’ motivation to write remains a subject of debate. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between ChatGPT usage and academic writing motivation among EFL students at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo. Grounded in Self-Determination Theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000; 2020), this study employed a quantitative correlational design involving 100 fourth-semester students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Academic Writing Motivation Questionnaire (AWMQ) adapted from Payne (2012) and the ChatGPT Usage Scale adapted from Nemt-allah et al. (2024). The data were analyzed using Pearson Product-Moment Correlation after meeting the assumption of normality. The findings revealed that the participants demonstrated a moderate level of academic writing motivation. Furthermore, a statistically significant negative correlation was found between ChatGPT usage and academic writing motivation (r = −.244, p = .015). This indicates that students who reported more frequent use of ChatGPT tended to exhibit lower levels of motivation in academic writing, although the strength of the relationship was weak. Since this study adopted a correlational design, no causal relationship can be established. These findings suggest that the use of ChatGPT may be associated with changes in students’ motivation toward academic writing and highlight the importance of promoting balanced and responsible use of AI tools in educational contexts.
Findings carry pertinent pedagogical implications, suggesting that higher education practitioners should systematically integrate AI scaffolding into writing instruction to enhance self-regulated learning and writing behaviors.

Results imply that achievement-oriented students are also more likely to self-regulate their effort and socialise with writing behaviour of others, which indicates an inter-related motivational profile.

This study examined the association between ChatGPT use and self-reported academic writing development and explored students’ perceptions of its role across the planning, drafting, revising, and editing stages. A quantitative-priority explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was employed at one university in Batam, Indonesia. Using purposive sampling, questionnaire data were collected from 80 English Education students who had completed an academic writing course and used ChatGPT for writing tasks. Eight respondents with different ChatGPT-use profiles subsequently participated in semi-structured interviews. The quantitative results showed that higher composite ChatGPT-use scores were significantly associated with higher self-reported academic writing scores, explaining 60.1% of the variance. Based on the eight interviews, participants perceived ChatGPT as a source of support for idea generation, text organization, language refinement, revision, efficiency, and confidence. They also emphasized the importance of verifying information, evaluating AI-generated suggestions critically, maintaining authorship, and avoiding excessive dependence. These findings indicate an association between ChatGPT use and perceived writing outcomes rather than objectively measured or causal improvement. The interpretation is limited by the one-institution purposive sample, cross-sectional design, and reliance on self-reported data. Pedagogically, the findings suggest that verification practices, critical evaluation, academic integrity, and learner autonomy warrant further consideration in AI-assisted writing instruction.

The rapid development of technology with the advent of AI tools such as ChatGPT in the field of education provides practical steps for EFL students, especially in assisting them in completing academic writing. However, there is still little research focusing on the relationship between student motivation and overdependence on AI tools. To determine the relationship between motivation levels and overdependence on ChatGPT to assist with academic writing among EFL students, the researcher employed a quantitative correlational study. The participants of this study were selected through a purposive sampling method, consisting of 26 EFL students who are currently taking or have completed an academic writing course. The questionnaire data were collected online via Google Forms. The analysis results indicated that there was no significant correlation between motivation levels and overdependence on ChatGPT among EFL students, as evidenced by a Sig. value of 0.454 (p > 0.05). It can be concluded that there are factors that have a greater influence than motivation on the level of EFL students' dependence on ChatGPT. Therefore, educational institutions and educators can establish structured guidelines for academic writing so that the use of AI in assignments can still be accountable and not violate academic ethics. Additionally, the limitations of this study include a small sample size and low variable variance. Therefore, future researchers addressing the same topic may consider adding or utilizing external variables and employing specific research methods to conduct a more in-depth exploration.

Investigating learners’ perceptions of ChatGPT use, their perceptions of the planning, translating, and reviewing stages of writing, and the relationship between ChatGPT and these stages suggest that ChatGPT functions as a complementary tool that supports learners throughout the writing process while preserving the importance of cognitive and strategic writing behaviours.
