Students Use AI To Support Writing Process

A pilot study led at Kennesaw State University analyzed 20 undergraduate writers using think-aloud protocols and screen recordings to observe AI-assisted composing. Researchers found students primarily used generative AI for idea generation, revision, and overcoming writer’s block, while often critically editing or rejecting outputs to retain authorship. The team plans to expand the study to 100 participants and examine neurodivergent writers’ interactions.
