Teachers’ beliefs are defined as deep philosophical principles or belief systems that guide
teachers’ expectation about student behavior and the host of decisions they make during teaching. The purpose
of this study is to investigate elementary teachers’ beliefs towards teaching writing and their instructional
practices and examine what relationships exist between teachers’ self-reported beliefs about teaching writing,
their instructional practices, professional / educational background, and type of institutional setting. In this study
a qualitative method was employed. Teacher beliefs and practices concerning the teaching of writing were
assessed through interviews and observations. A brief survey was also conducted with a sub-sample of
participants. The data indicated a wide range of perspectives among teachers about writing instruction and there
were significant differences in writing practices of teachers who were belong to same category. The data also
revealed that teachers tended to use more skill-based practices even though this contradicts the self-reported
beliefs.
