Impact of 3As of Generative Artificial Intelligence Tools on Scientific Academic Writing Skills: PLS-SEM Approach
Keywords:
Awareness, Accessibility, Adoption, Generative Artificial Intelligence Tools, Academic Writing Skills.Abstract
One of the numerous developments in the digital world is generative artificial intelligence. This branch of artificial intelligence can be used to improve the academic writing skills of all professionals due to its ability to generate text, check grammatical errors, create a video, and plagiarism check among others. The study worked on the impact of awareness, accessibility and adoption of generative intelligence tools on academic writing skills. The target sample size for the study was 500 stakeholders comprising lecturers, postgraduate candidates, postgraduate and undergraduate students who are currently writing their final year research project on science education in Nigerian universities but only 189 valid responses were used for the analysis. A partial least square structural equation model approach was employed. The SmartPLS software version 4.0.9.2 was used to analyze the descriptive and inferential output of the study. The result of the study revealed that awareness, accessibility and adoption of generative artificial intelligence tools have weak, moderate and substantial impacts on the stakeholders’ academic writing skills. The study recommended that the stakeholders, professionals and academic writers should adopt the usage of generative artificial intelligence tools and also observe the ethical practice to avoid academic theft.
