Abstract

The goal of this study is to examine how ParagraphAI Technology, a type of artificial intelligence, is applied to the IAIN Curup's educational process. In this instance, the researchers paid more attention to how ParagraphAI was applied and how it helped students develop their writing skills and critical thinking. In a paragraph-writing class during the third semester of the academic year 2023–2024, this AI-powered application was utilized. Qualitative research methodology and descriptive presentation are used in this study. Ten third-semester English Tadris Study Program students from IAIN Curup will be the research subjects for this study in the academic year 2023–2024. The primary factor in selecting this research topic is that students participate in the Paragraph Writing course, where the instructor uses an artificial intelligence application called ParagraphAI as a teaching tool. The researcher employed document analysis and interviews to gather the data. The findings of this study demonstrate that the application of ParagraphAI Technology significantly enhances students' writing and critical thinking skills, as evidenced by seven indicators, by offering a comprehensive suite of tools catered to various facets of academic writing. irst, the ParagraphAI Technology app enhances students' writing skills by identifying and addressing issues, providing analysis, and promoting critical thinking. Lecturers guide students through the app, enhancing their analytical skills. Second, the ParagraphAI Technology app enhances students' writing skills by filtering credible sources, evaluating information, and recommending expert writing. It aids in decision-making, source quality evaluation, and fostering critical thinking and confidence. Third, ParagraphAI Technology enhances students' critical thinking skills in writing through data visualization, concept mapping, semantic analysis, and topic suggestions. It improves argument structure, coherence, and consistency, encouraging exploration of new knowledge areas. Fourth, ParagraphAI Technology enhances students' critical thinking and writing skills through data visualization, concept mapping, and analysis. However, it should be used as a tool for learning and writing, not a replacement. Fifth, ParagraphAI Technology enhances students' writing skills by promoting critical thinking, improving organization, logic flow, sentence improvement, and cohesion analysis, while detecting grammar errors and providing constructive feedback. Sixth, ParagraphAI Technology enhances students' critical thinking and writing skills by evaluating, selecting, and emphasizing relevant ideas. It uses advanced technologies and text analysis features to identify and evaluate ideas, but students should exercise selectivity and not rely solely on technology. Last, ParagraphAI Technology enhances students' writing skills by providing text analysis, evidence recommendation, and information organization, enhancing persuasiveness, clarity, and cohesion, and fostering critical thinking.The document analysis of the students' written work revealed that the students exhibit varying degrees of critical thinking. The five students are at the Challenged Thinker level, while the remaining five students are at the Beginning Thinker level, despite showing some reflective thinking and goal-setting abilities.
