Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the role of feedback supported by the ChatGPT artificial intelligence application in the development of creative writing skills of primary school students. In the current study, a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test-post-test control group was applied, which is a quantitative research method. The study group consisted of 60 third-grade students (30 experimental, 30 control) studying in the 2024-2025 academic year. During the 6-week application, creative writing activities with ChatGPT-supported feedback, teacher-guided evaluation, and writing-rewriting activities were conducted in the experimental group, while the control group conducted creative writing activities without any feedback on the students' writing products. The "Creative Writing Products Evaluation Scale" was used as the data collection tool. In the analysis of the research data, SPSS program, percentage, arithmetic mean, eta-squared effect size correlation coefficient, and t-test were used. As a result of the research, it was concluded that there was a significant result in favor of the experimental group in the post-test scores of the students' creative writing skills and that ChatGPT-supported feedback was effective in improving the students' creative writing skills and writing products.

Özet

Bu araştırmanın amacı, ChatGPT yapay zekâ uygulaması destekli dönütlerin ilkokul öğrencilerinin yaratıcı yazma becerilerini geliştirmesindeki rolünü belirlemektir. Mevcut araştırmada nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden ön test-son test kontrol gruplu yarı deneysel desen modeli uygulanmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, 2024-2025 eğitim-öğretim yılında ilkokul 3. sınıfta öğrenimine devam eden 60 öğrenci (30 deney, 30 kontrol) oluşturmaktadır. 6 haftalık uygulama süresince deney grubunda ChatGPT destekli dönütlerle yaratıcı yazma çalışmaları, öğretmen rehberliğinde değerlendirme ve yazma-yeniden yazma çalışmaları yapılırken; kontrol grubunda ise öğrencilerin yazma ürünlerine herhangi bir dönüt verilmeden yaratıcı yazma çalışmaları gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak “Yaratıcı Yazma Ürünlerini Değerlendirme Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin analizinde SPSS programı, yüzde, aritmetik ortalama, eta-kare etki büyüklüğü korelasyon katsayısı ve t-testi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda öğrencilerin yaratıcı yazma becerileri son test puanlarında deney grubu lehine anlamlı bir sonucun çıktığı, ChatGPT destekli dönütlerin öğrencilerin yaratıcı yazma becerisini ve yazma ürünlerini geliştirmede etkili olduğu sonucu ortaya çıkmıştır.
