Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Learning Focusing on CICI Usage: Its Influence on Writing Skills

Abstract

This study investigates how Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially the use of the CICI application, helps improve the writing skills of BSED English students at Mindanao State University–Lanao del Norte Agricultural College. Many students struggle with writing due to lack of practice, poor grammar, limited vocabulary, and not receiving enough guidance or corrections from their teachers. This gap shows the need for new tools like AI to support writing development. The main goals of this study were to examine how CICI affects writing skills, understand students’ views on using CICI, and see if there is a link between their writing levels and their experiences with the app. This study is important because strong writing skills are essential for academic and career success, and new technology offers fresh ways to support learning. The researchers used a quasi-experimental design with a control and experimental group. Both groups took pre- and post-tests, and the experimental group also used CICI and completed a survey. The findings showed that students who used CICI improved more in writing compared to those who did not. Their grammar, vocabulary, and overall writing got better. Most students also had positive feedback about using the tool, especially in how often they practiced writing and how helpful the prompts were. In conclusion, CICI was found to be a helpful tool for improving writing skills. Teachers are encouraged to use AI tools like CICI to support writing instruction and help students become better, more confident writers.
