The Relationship

This study aimed to reveal the relationship between primary school teacher candidates’ writing sensitivity and writing achievement. This quantitative study conducted with the relational survey model consisted of 575 teacher candidates of two public universities. The data about primary school teacher candidates’ writing achievement were collected via Rubric for Written Texts (RWT) with the help of written texts produced by them and the Writing Sensitivity Scale (WSS). According to the findings obtained, primary school teacher candidates had moderate writing sensitivity and writing achievement and there was a statistically significant relationship between writing sensitivity and writing achievement. It can be argued that writing sensitivity and writing achievement significantly differ according to gender, while writing sensitivity does not significantly differ based on year, writing achievement does.

This study aimed to determine the perceptions of primary school teacher candidates about the Turkish education system, school, teacher, and student concepts by means of metaphors. The study group consisted of 82 primary school teacher candidates enrolled in the senior class of a university in the Black Sea Region in Turkey in 2018. The study data were collected using a questionnaire which involved gap filling questions aiming to determine the metaphors for the Turkish education system, school, teacher, and student. Findings indicated that the majority of the primary school teacher candidates had a negative perception of the Turkish education system. More than half of the negative metaphors that the participants used were about the unceasing change of the system. Primary school teacher candidates' perceptions of the school concept were mostly positive. The participants saw school as a home that educates and shapes people. Nevertheless, a considerable number of the participants considered school like an oppressive and uniformizing prison, where they would not like to be. Majority of the primary school teacher candidates had positive perceptions of the teacher concept. Nonetheless, there were neutral and negative perceptions as well. The participants mostly emphasized the educating and shaping characteristics of the teacher concept in their descriptions. Although primary school teacher candidates’ perceptions of student were generally positive, a student description, in which student was seen passive in the learning process and highlighted as an entity that can be shaped, stood out.
