Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Researchers in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) have significantly focused on the use of ChatGPT for writing. Many studies have shown that the use of ChatGPT has somewhat influenced students’ attitudes toward applying ChatGPT in academic writing. The researchers conducted a study to gather the perceptions of English-major master’s students regarding using ChatGPT to learn research writing at a university in Vietnam. A mixed-method approach was employed to assess students' perceptions, with a sample size of 29 students participating in a research writing course. This study examined not only the general benefits and challenges of using ChatGPT but also its impact on critical thinking and the risk of unintentional plagiarism. These findings suggest that educators should guide learners to approach ChatGPT not merely as a simple language correction tool but as a double-edged resource requiring functional, cognitive, and ethical considerations in AI-assisted learning environments.
