All of the primary school teachers participated in the study experienced cursive writing teaching at primary school level at least for once. Each teacher was interviewed for 15 minutes on average. In the scope of the interview, the question of “Cursive writing is like…. Because…” was addressed, and teachers were asked to fill the given form. The study is a qualitative study. The content analysis method was applied in the data analysis. The teachers’ confirmations were received by reading out their expressions. The interviews were conducted by a single researcher in each institution that teachers work. Due to the fact that a single researcher was responsible in the data collection process, a comparison between the data was not required.
