Abstract

This study aims to examine the cognitive and affective changes in university students' writing self-efficacy when engaging in reflective writing classes utilizing ChatGPT. Over ten sessions, reflective writing classes using ChatGPT were conducted for students enrolled in a mandatory writing course at S University in Gyeonggi Province. The reflective journals written by the students during these sessions were meticulously reviewed as qualitative data with statistical analysis of pre- and post-surveys on writing self-efficacy. The results confirmed that utilizing ChatGPT in reflective writing classes positively impacted students' writing self-efficacy. Participants showed increased interest and confidence in their writing abilities when using ChatGPT. It was reported that they received cognitive assistance in outlining and paragraph structuring from samples generated by ChatGPT. Although survey results showed an overall increase in writing self-efficacy, the only statistically significant change was in the 'plagiarism response' category, which means a clear awareness of plagiarism issues. The process of personalizing the ChatGPT-generated samples requires consistent practice, and systematic guidelines on using such helpful tool effectively should be reinforced as a future task.

본 연구는 ChatGPT를 활용한 성찰적 글쓰기 수업을 진행하였을 때 대학생의 쓰기 효능감에 인지, 정의적으로 어떠한 변화가 일어나는 가에 대해 살펴보고자 한다. 경기도 소재 S 대학교에서 교양 필수 글쓰기 교과목을 수강하는 대학생을 대상으로 ChatGPT를 활용한 성찰적 글쓰기 수업을 설계하여 5주동안 10차시에 걸쳐 진행하면서 학생들이 작성한 성찰일지를 면밀하게 검토하였고, 부가적으로 ChatGPT를 활용하기 전과 후에 측정한 쓰기 효능감 사전·사후 설문지를 통계 분석하였다. 질적자료를 분석한 결과, ChatGPT를 활용한 성찰적 글쓰기 수업이 학습자의 쓰기 효능감에 긍정적인 영향을 주었음이 확인되었다. 참여자들은 ChatGPT를 활용하면서 흥미와 더 나은 글을 쓸 수 있다는 자신감을 보였으며, 개요 짜기, 단락구성의 측면에서 ChatGPT로 생성된 샘플들을 통해 글쓰기와 관련된 지식·기능의 인지적 도움을 받고, 표절 문제에 대한 명백한 인식을 하였다. 쓰기 효능감의 설문조사 결과에서는 인지, 정의 영역의 모든 항목에서 평균의 상승을 보였으나 통계적으로 유의미한 변화를 보인 것은 '표절 대응' 항목이었다. ChatGPT로 생성된 글의 샘플들을 자기화 하는 과정은 꾸준한 연습이 필요하며, 이를 효율적으로 도와주는 유용한 도구 사용에 대한 체계적 지침이 보강되어야 할 것을 향후 과제로 제언한다.
