Abstract

This study explores students’ voices regarding the benefits and challenges of using ChatGPT in writing research proposals, focusing on their ideas and perspectives about its use in the proposal writing process. The study uses a qualitative approach with a narrative inquiry design and involves three final-year students from the English Education program who actively used ChatGPT during their proposal writing. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and documentation of students’ interactions with ChatGPT, and then analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings show that there are both benefits and challenges in using ChatGPT. The benefits include personalized learning support, 24/7 accessibility, help in finding and understanding references, and improvement in grammar and vocabulary that support better academic writing. Meanwhile, the challenges include overreliance on technology, doubts about the accuracy and reliability of the information generated by ChatGPT, frustration due to repetitive or less relevant answers, and ethical concerns such as the risk of plagiarism when copying AI-generated text without paraphrasing. This study concludes that ChatGPT can be a useful tool in writing research proposals if it is used wisely and critically, and it should support students’ analytical and writing skills rather than replace them.
