设计得当的AI写作工具能提升学生写作自主性与深度思考。
AI in the Writing Process: How Purposeful AI Support Fosters Student Writing
- 用集成式AI工具支持写作各环节，而非简单聊天助手。
- 使用集成工具的学生写作自主性更强，知识内化更深入。
- 适合教育研究者和智能教学系统开发者参考。
ChatGPT等技术的普及引发了对学生写作中自主性下降和内容浅层参与的担忧。尽管独立的聊天式大模型常导致写作效果不佳，但有证据表明，经过精心设计的AI写作支持工具可提升写作过程质量。本研究通过90名本科生的随机对照实验，比较了三种条件：（1）基于聊天的大型语言模型写作助手，（2）集成式AI写作工具以支持多种写作子过程，（3）标准写作界面（对照组）。结果表明，在所有AI支持条件下，使用集成式AI写作工具的学生展现出更强的写作过程掌控感，并实现更深层次的知识转化。这说明，针对写作特定环节进行有针对性设计的AI支持，有助于学生保持创作主体性，同时促进对内容的深度理解。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The ubiquity of technologies like ChatGPT has raised concerns about their impact on student writing, particularly regarding reduced learner agency and superficial engagement with content. While standalone chat-based LLMs often produce suboptimal writing outcomes, evidence suggests that purposefully designed AI writing support tools can enhance the writing process. This paper investigates how different AI support approaches affect writers' sense of agency and depth of knowledge transformation. Through a randomized control trial with 90 undergraduate students, we compare three conditions: (1) a chat-based LLM writing assistant, (2) an integrated AI writing tool to support diverse subprocesses, and (3) a standard writing interface (control). Our findings demonstrate that, among AI-supported conditions, students using the integrated AI writing tool exhibited greater agency over their writing process and engaged in deeper knowledge transformation overall. These results suggest that thoughtfully designed AI writing support targeting specific aspects of the writing process can help students maintain ownership of their work while facilitating improved engagement with content.
