Abstract:

The aim of this study is to write activities organized in accordance with the 5E learning model. It is to study the influence of class students on writing attitudes and writing trends. A semi-experimental model has been applied. In the semi-experimental models, the "pre-test/final test uneven control group model (OSCD)" was preferred. The research has been developed by Can and Topçuoğlu (2017) and used the scale of writing attitude towards high school students and the scale of writing trend developed by Ünal (2010) and the scale of writing. The study was conducted with students of the Mobile High School 8-D and 8-F classes located in Kepez district of Antalya. A total of 50 students participated in the study. In the first week of the study, scales related to the control and experiment groups were applied. In the subsequent weeks, the control group was performed activities in the normal program while the experiment group was performed activities prepared in accordance with the 5E Learning Model. This process continued for 5 weeks and two hours of creative writing practices were performed per week. At the end of the 5 weeks, the test and control group students were re-applicated. The results of this study have shown that five-week activities applied to the experiment group have a significant impact on improving students' writing tendencies. There was no significant change in the writing attitudes and writing trends between the students in the control group's first and last situations where no intervention was made. The experimental group and control group also concluded that the status of gender and Turkish lessons of students does not affect their writing attitudes and trends.
