Students’ Perception Of Increasing Morphology Competence Through Chatgpt: AI – Based Learning

Abstract

Improving students’ morphological competence is essential because morphology plays an important role in understanding vocabulary, constructing accurate sentences, and developing overall language skills. However, traditional learning methods often lack personalized support, active engagement, and instant feedback. This study aims to understand students’ perceptions of using AI-based ChatGPT in morphology learning and to explore its perceived advantages and disadvantages. This research employed a qualitative method using questionnaires and in-depth interviews with fourth-semester students of the English Education Study Program. The findings reveal that students generally have a positive perception of ChatGPT as a supportive learning tool. They find it helpful, motivating, and flexible, as it provides clear explanations, practical examples, and real-time feedback that support independent study. Despite these advantages, students also recognize several limitations, such as possible inaccuracies, technical restrictions, and the risk of over-reliance that may reduce their critical thinking skills. In conclusion, students suggest that ChatGPT should be used wisely as a complementary tool alongside lecturers’ guidance and credible academic resources to maximize learning outcomes in morphology
