The Academic Integrity in the Use of AI-Assisted Academic Writing: University Students' Perspectives and Practices

Abstract

This research explores the views and practices of students regarding academic integrity in the use of AI-based academic writing tools. With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence in education, particularly in language teaching, students face various opportunities and challenges in their writing process. This study employs the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) as a framework to investigate the attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control of students regarding the ethical use of AI tools. Data were obtained through open-ended questionnaires from students at Swadaya Gunung Jati University, focusing on their experiences and understanding of AI in academic writing. The research results reveal a nuanced understanding of academic integrity, with students acknowledging the benefits of AI while also expressing concerns about potential ethical issues, such as plagiarism and overreliance on AI-generated content. This study emphasises the significance of institutional guidelines in promoting responsible AI use and fostering students' ethical awareness in academic writing.
