ChatGPT in the Academic World: A Study on the Dependence and Ethics of Undergraduate Arabic Language Students' Final Year Projects (FYP)

Abstract

This study seeks to generate empirical data regarding the utilization of ChatGPT in final year project (FYP) writing, focusing on reliability, effects on originality quality, and ethical judgments. 84 Bachelor of Arabic Language students from Universiti Teknologi MARA Shah Alam participated in this study. This research uses a quantitative methodology to integrate two theories: Task-Technology Fit (TTF) and Self-Efficacy. The questionnaire on Google Forms was disseminated using email or the WhatsApp application, followed by analysis using SPSS. The study findings reveal that students gain substantial advantages and depend on ChatGPT for writing processes and duties associated with their final year projects, including developing research frameworks and idea generation. Students exhibit reluctance and apprehension around possible infractions associated with using ChatGPT, resulting in a decline in creativity and integrity. The concern necessitates oversight and focus from institutions and educators to guarantee its seamless operation and adherence to appropriate norms. Scientific writing and Arabic-language FYPs have flaws, particularly in their reliance on supervisor or lecturer reviews, stemming from inadequate language quality.
