Writing-focused GenAI declaration structure with six activity categories¶

Design · All designs
Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

A declaration form for writing-focused activities (e.g., a short literature review on technology and society) organised around six activity categories: Planning & Structure, Textual Content Generation, Research & Analysis, Revision & Polish, Visual Content, and Evaluation & Feedback. For each category students (1) state whether GenAI was used (Yes/No), (2) specify the extent of use (Minor, Moderate, Extensive), and (3) provide a short explanation with example prompts. The categories operationalise aspects of the Bouvier et al. taxonomy in an essay-writing context, e.g., "Textual Content Generationaligns withGenerate".

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

Students complete per-category Yes/No use, extent rating, and short explanations with example prompts

Constraints¶

Categories were derived from a computing-education activity taxonomy; the article notes the boundary of what counts as GenAI use is not always obvious to students

Target Learners¶

Higher education students completing writing-focused assessments such as professional or literature-review style reports

Learning Goals¶

Transparent disclosure of GenAI use in writing tasks
Distinguishing acceptable assistance (e.g., limited revision support) from outsourcing of core content

Claims¶

Coding-focused GenAI declaration structure with five activity categories
