Özet
Purpose Theaim of the research was to determine the use of narrative text elements by the4th grade primary school students in their narrative texts in compliance withthe designated written expression evaluation criteria. Method In this qualitative research,document analysis was used as the data collection method. The texts oftwenty-three pupils attending the 4th grade of a state school affiliated to theMinistry of National Education were examined through easily accessible casesampling method among the purposeful sampling methods. Findings According to the results of theresearch, the majority of the students achieved the proper behaviour to leave agap between the words and lines, paid attention to the page layout, etc., butthey did not comply with the rule of first line indent in a paragraph. It wasfound that students were not having any trouble while deciding on a title fortheir texts, and these titles conformed to the texts, and that the texts were alsoorganized in a logical order. Participants were found to have problems individing the subject into paragraphs and providing meaningful transitionsbetween these paragraphs. Finally, it was observed that the majority ofstudents made mistakes in the use of punctuation marks in compliance with thewriting rules in the texts they wrote. Implications for Research and Practice The results of data indicate that the students have insufficientknowledge of writing narrative. This is evident from the schematic structureand linguistic features of the texts. Students need a lot of writing guidancefrom the teacher. In addition, an appropriate teaching techniques andapproaches should be implemented.
