The research model was structured as an embedded design in which the qualitative process was embedded into the experimental design from mixed method research. According to the results, narrative elements, story organisation and post-test story writing total scores of the experimental group students increased. Similarly, in the control group, an increase was found in the post-test story writing total scores. Although there was no significant difference between the pre-test story writing total scores of the experimental and control group students, there was an increase in the post-test story writing total scores of the students in the experimental group compared to the control group. When the qualitative data were analysed, it was determined that the story writing awareness of the experimental group students increased significantly more than the control group students. These results show that constructivist-based story writing training improves fictional story writing skills.}, number={1}, publisher={Hakan ÜLPER}
