Enhancing Writing Skills through Chatgpt: an Experimental Study in the Context of Ergonomics

Abstract

Proficiency in advanced writing is a crucial element that influences both academic excellence and future professional competence. This research paper aims at investigating the effectiveness of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) language model, in improving the writing skills of individuals. The aim of this study is to analyze the outcome that interactive conversations with ChatGPT will have on its users' writing skills. A well-structured questionnaire comprising ten questions was mailed to the learners of English at a Graduate College, Bhopal, the capital of the state of Madhya Pradesh, located in the heart of India. This study contributes to the field of AI-assisted learning and offers valuable insights for educators and individuals seeking to improve their writing skills. ChatGPT enhances the ergonomic aspect of writing by easing cognitive strain with instant writing assistance, fostering a more efficient and mentally comfortable learning environment. It streamlines the writing process, allowing learners to concentrate on creativity and content flow.

REZUMAT

Competența în scrisul avansat este un element crucial, care influențează atât excelența academică, cât și viitoarea competență profesională a filologului. În acest articol, ne propunem să investigăm eficiența ChatGPT, un model de limbaj de inteligență artificială ( IA), în îmbunătățirea abilităților de scriere ale indivizilor. Scopul acestui studiu este de a analiza impactul pe care conversațiile interactive cu ChatGPT îl vor avea asupra abilităților de scriere ale utilizatorilor săi. Un chestionar bine structurat, cuprinzând zece întrebări, a fost trimis studenţilor care învaţă limba engleză la un colegiu din Bhopal, capitala statului Madhya Pradesh, situat în inima Indiei. Acest studiu contribuie la dezvoltarea învățării asistate de IA și oferă informații valoroase pentru pedagogi și persoanele care doresc să-și îmbunătățească abilitățile de scriere. ChatGPT îmbunătățește aspectul ergonomic al scrisului prin micşorarea tensiunii cognitive în cadrul dezvoltării acestuia, promovând un mediu de învățare mai eficient și mai confortabil din punct de vedere mental. El eficientizează procesul de scriere, permițând studenţilor să se concentreze asupra creativității și fluxului de conținut.
