As artificial intelligence (AI) tools become increasingly integrated into educational settings, their role in writing instruction has garnered growing interest. This study investigates student perceptions of AI-generated feedback on academic writing within a higher education classroom. Through a mixed-methods classroom experiment involving undergraduate students, we examined how learners responded to AI feedback compared to traditional teacher feedback. Data were collected via pre- and post-intervention surveys, focus group discussions, and analysis of students' writing revisions. The findings indicate that while students appreciated the immediacy, consistency, and detailed nature of AI feedback, they also expressed concerns regarding its limitations in understanding nuance, context, and emotional tone. Notably, students viewed AI as a complementary tool rather than a replacement for human instruction. The study provides insights into how AI feedback can be effectively integrated into writing pedagogy and suggests design considerations for AI writing assistants in educational contexts.

Abstract.

As artificial intelligence (AI) tools become increasingly integrated into

educational settings, their role in writing instruction has garnered growing interest. This
study investigates student perceptions of AI-generated feedback on academic writing within a
higher education classroom. Through a mixed-methods classroom experiment involving
undergraduate students, we examined how learners responded to AI feedback compared to
traditional teacher feedback. Data were collected via pre- and post-intervention surveys, focus
group discussions, and analysis of students' writing revisions. The findings indicate that while
students appreciated the immediacy, consistency, and detailed nature of AI feedback, they
also expressed concerns regarding its limitations in understanding nuance, context, and
emotional tone. Notably, students viewed AI as a complementary tool rather than a
replacement for human instruction. The study provides insights into how AI feedback can be
effectively integrated into writing pedagogy and suggests design considerations for AI writing
assistants in educational contexts.

Introduction

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into educational practices has rapidly

transformed the way learning is delivered and assessed. In the context of writing instruction,
AI-powered feedback tools—such as Grammarly, ChatGPT, Turnitin Revision Assistant, and
others—have emerged as popular resources for students and educators alike. These tools
provide instant responses to a range of writing elements, including grammar, punctuation,
organization, clarity, tone, and even content development. As these technologies evolve, they
are increasingly being positioned not just as supplementary aids but as central components of
writing pedagogy. However, despite their growing use, limited research exists on how
students perceive and interact with the feedback these systems provide, especially within
formal classroom settings.

Writing is a complex cognitive and social process that requires more than just surface-

level corrections. Effective feedback—whether formative or summative—plays a critical role
in helping students revise, reflect, and grow as writers. Traditional teacher feedback has long
been valued for its ability to address nuanced issues such as argument structure, audience
awareness, critical thinking, and voice. Yet, due to time constraints, heavy grading loads, and
increasing class sizes, educators often struggle to provide individualized, timely feedback to
all students. In contrast, AI tools offer immediate and consistent feedback, potentially
alleviating these challenges. Nevertheless, the quality, contextual appropriateness, and
pedagogical value of such feedback remain contested.

From a pedagogical perspective, the use of AI tools in writing classrooms raises

fundamental questions about student agency, trust in technology, and the evolving role of
instructors. Do students view AI feedback as authoritative? Do they understand its limitations
and strengths? How do they decide whether to accept or reject suggestions offered by a
machine? These questions are essential, particularly as education systems worldwide grapple
with the ethics, accessibility, and effectiveness of AI-driven learning technologies.

This study seeks to explore these questions by investigating student perceptions of AI-

generated feedback through a classroom-based experiment involving undergraduate learners.
By comparing student responses to AI feedback with their reactions to traditional teacher
feedback, the research aims to understand not only how students engage with automated
systems, but also how these systems influence writing practices, revision behavior, and
learning outcomes.

In recent years, several studies have begun to address the potential of AI in educational

settings. Some scholars highlight the efficiency and motivational aspects of AI tools, noting
that students often revise more frequently and independently when given immediate
feedback. Others caution against over-reliance on automation, citing the lack of contextual
awareness and emotional sensitivity in machine-generated responses. While much of the
existing literature focuses on technical evaluation and system design, fewer studies
investigate the student experience—particularly how learners interpret, value, and respond
to AI feedback in authentic classroom contexts.

The central aim of this thesis is to fill that gap by focusing on the student voice. Through

a mixed-methods approach combining surveys, focus groups, and writing analysis, the
research addresses the following core questions:

-

How do students perceive the usefulness, accuracy, and clarity of AI-generated feedback

on their writing?

-

How does student engagement with AI feedback compare to traditional teacher

feedback in terms of revision decisions?

-

What do students identify as the strengths and limitations of using AI feedback tools in

their writing process?

By addressing these questions, the study contributes to the broader discourse on

human-AI collaboration in education. It offers insights for educators aiming to integrate AI
into writing instruction thoughtfully, as well as for developers seeking to improve the design
of AI tools to better support learning. Most importantly, it emphasizes the importance of
student-centered perspectives in shaping the future of educational technology.

In the chapters that follow, the thesis begins with a review of existing literature on

feedback in writing pedagogy and AI applications in education. It then outlines the
methodology of the classroom experiment, including participant selection, tools used, and
data collection methods. The results section presents findings from both quantitative and
qualitative analyses, followed by a discussion that interprets these results in light of existing
research. The final chapter offers conclusions, pedagogical recommendations, and directions
for future research.
