Abstract

The objective of this study is the evaluation of the writing disposition of sixth grade students from the perspective of different variables using the Writing Disposition Scale developed by Piazza & Siebert (2008) and adopted into Turkish by Iseri & Unal (2010). At the conclusion of this study we note that the writing disposition of elementary school sixth grade students in the confidence and passion sub-categories, and in the scale as a whole, showed meaningful differences according to the school they attended but that a meaningful difference in writing disposition could not be observed in the persistence sub-category.
