Conclusions of the study: It was found out that approximately 34 % secondary school students’ attitude towards writing was positive. The female students’ attitude towards writing was more positive compared to the boys.

Nedensel karşılaştırma modelindeki bu araştırmanın örneklemini; Antakya’daki iki okulda öğrenim gören 817 ortaokul öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada şu sonuçlara ulaşılmıştır: Ortaokul öğrencilerinin yaklaşık % 34’ünün yazmaya yönelik tutumlarının olumlu olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kızların yazmaya yönelik tutumu erkeklere göre daha olumludur. 5.sınıf (% 54,4’ü olumlu) öğrencilerinin 6, 7 ve 8.sınıftakilere göre yazmaya yönelik daha olumlu tutuma sahip oldukları ve yazmaya yönelik olumlu tutumun 5.sınıftan 8.sınıfa doğru düştüğü tespit edilmiştir. Anne ve babanın öğrenim durumu, mesleği ve ailenin ortalama aylık geliri yazma tutumunda anlamlı bir farklılık oluşturmamıştır. Okuma alışkanlığı olanların ve okuma alışkanlığı yönünden kendine yönelik olumlu yönde değerlendirmelerde bulunanların yazmaya yönelik tutumları, daha az okuyanlara ve değerlendirmeleri olumsuz olanlara göre daha olumludur. Günlük tutanların ve yazma alışkanlığı olanların yazmaya yönelik tutumu daha olumludur. Türkçe öğretmeninin yazılı anlatım etkinliği yaptırması yazma tutumunda düşük düzeyde etkilidir. Öğrencilerin yazma öz değerlendirmelerinin yazmaya yönelik tutumda yüksek düzeyde etkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir.Televizyon, bilgisayar veya tablet başında 3 saatten fazla vakit geçirenlerin yazma tutumunun düştüğü belirlenmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Türkçe öğretimi, yazma becerisi, yazmaya yönelik tutum, yazılı anlatım.
