摘要:This study aimed to identify elementary school teachers’
perceptions of their writing experiences and examine
the factors forming their writership identities by analyzing
their perceptions. This study is a phenomenological study
conducted with six elementary school teachers. Data were
collected through a semi-structured interview form. The data
were analyzed based on Gee’s (2010) theory of discourse.
The results showed that the teachers described writing as
an essential skill used for transferring emotions and thoughts.
They stated that language skills were interrelated and that
there was a need to have a certain set of skills to be able
to write. The development of technology had reduced the
need for classical writing, and social prejudices had reduced
the teachers’ willingness to write. The teachers consider
themselves neither very successful nor very unsuccessful
writers but a medium level in general. They were happy
when writing, even though they did not like expressing
their feelings. They thought that writing successfully had a
profound effect on academic achievement and that the
largest share in educating individuals to be good writers
was in teachers' hands.
