- Examine qualitative themes such as enhanced writing confidence, increased enjoyment, over-reliance on AI, and frustration due to misaligned outputs from eight participants.
- Investigate the focus of ChatGPT interactions, specifically on vocabulary and sentence-level refinement versus broader content development.
- Model the relationship between AI scaffolding and learners' perceived competence, autonomy, and self-regulatory strategies.
Strengths
- Data from a controlled study with 72 undergraduate participants.
- Includes both quantitative motivation data and qualitative thematic analysis from eight participants.
