Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of AI-Assisted Learning in
improving the research writing skills of Grade 10 students in a public secondary school in
Ozamiz City during the school year 2025–2026. The study employed a classroom-based
action research design using a single-group pretest–posttest approach. The respondents
consisted of thirty-three (33) Grade 10 students selected through purposive sampling. Data
were gathered using a researcher-designed Research Writing Assessment Tool consisting
of 30 items that measured students' ability to identify technical terms, formulate technical
and operational definitions, classify operational definitions, apply correct grammar, and
compose research-based paragraphs. English teachers and curriculum specialists validated
the instrument, and reliability testing yielded a Cronbach's alpha of 0.70 or higher. Data
were analyzed using frequency counts, percentages, means, standard deviations, and paired
t-tests through JAMOVI. Findings revealed that the students' research writing skills
improved from satisfactory before the implementation of the AI-assisted learning strategy
to very satisfactory after the intervention. Results further showed that most students
achieved Outstanding and Very Satisfactory performance levels after implementing the
strategy. Statistical analysis revealed a highly significant difference in students' research
writing skills before and after implementing AI-assisted Learning. The study concluded
that AI-assisted Learning is an effective instructional strategy in improving Grade 10
students' research writing skills, particularly in grammar, coherence, organization of ideas,
and overall academic writing performance.
