The aim of this study is to study the opinions of the teachers of science about writing for learning purposes. The research is a quality study and the scan method is used for the research data. The study was conducted by 140 teachers of sciences working in different cities of Turkey in the 2020-2021 educational year. In addition, a group of 6 teachers of science have also been discussed. The survey form and focus group interview form, created by the researcher as a data collection tool, have been used. The data is analyzed by content analysis. Themes and codes were created and tables were obtained for the obtained data. In the tables are given the frequencies and percentages of the themes and codes. The study resulted in the fact that the teachers of science in our country have provided special learning about writing for learning purposes, but the problem of time, due to reasons such as the excess of programming, has come to the conclusion that they have not been able to apply enough writing activities for learning in their classes. The scientific teachers have found that the most used learning writing activities are the recording, the concept map and the preparation of experimental reports, and the least used activities are the writing of letters, poems and class journals. Teachers have pointed out that the positive aspects of learning writing provide the durability of learning and enhance learning. He also said that the negative side is time-consuming. They also pointed out that cognitive field skills can provide many skills such as creative and renewable skills and learning skills. In order to learn how the writing activities can be used more within the classroom, teachers’ candidates have been given answers such as increasing their knowledge about the activities, dissolution of the program, the lack of crowds of classes, increasing the number of classes.
