In this study, in order to raise the level of interest and success of the students towards writing skill, Cognitive Approach was used. This study took place in Amasya Suluova Bolat Primary Education School and 24 students attended the study as the control group and the other 24 students attended as the Experimental Group. While the Traditional Method, which was also suggested by the Teacher’s Book presented by the Ministry of National Education was used for the Control Group, Experimental Group’s lessons included activities considering Cognitive Approach. English Writing Skill Test which was prepared by the researcher was practised on both groups and no significant difference was detected. However, at the end of the 12 week period, Experimental Group’s post-test results were higher than the Control Group’s. Though this skill is considered as time-consuming from most teachers’ point of view and difficult from the students’, it is seen that if it is taught via Cognitive Approach, the interest towards the skill and the lesson increases. It is thought that if the teachers take the students’ cognition level into consideration and use Cognitive Approach in their lessons, both the success level in such a productive skill and interest as well as motivation will increase towards English lesson.

Öğrencilerin yazma becerisine olan ilgilerini arttırmak ve başarı oranlarının yükseltilmesi
amaçlanan bu çalışmada bilişsel yaklaşım kullanılmıştır. Amasya Suluova Bolat İlköğretim
Okulu’nda 12 hafta süren öğretim etkinliğinde 24’er kişilik iki sınıf deney ve kontrol grubu
olarak oluşturulmuştur. Kontrol grubu ile öğretmen kılavuz kitabında öngörülen geleneksel
yöntemler kullanılırken, deney grubu ile bilişsel yönteme göre aktiviteler düzenlenmiş ve
uygulanmıştır. Çalışmanın en başında her iki gruba da araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan
İngilizce Yazma Becerileri Testi ön-test olarak uygulanmış, fakat iki grup arasında önemli bir
farka rastlanmamıştır. Ancak 12 hafta süren öğretme etkinliğinin sonunda deney grubu sontest
sonuçlarının kontrol grubununkine göre daha başarılı olduğu saptanmıştır. Ayrıca, çoğu
zaman öğretmenler tarafından zaman alıcı olarak görülen ve öğrenciler tarafından zor olarak
nitelendirilen bu becerinin bilişsel yöntemlerle öğretilmesinden dolayı deney grubunda hem
beceriye hem de derse olan ilgi artmıştır. Bundan dolayı, öğretmenlerin öğrencilerine yazma
becerisini kazandırırken bilişsel gelişimlerini dikkate almaları ve bilişsel yöntem
kullanmalarının hem öğrencilerinin yazma gibi üretimsel bir becerideki başarıyı hem de derse
olan ilgi ve motivasyonu arttıracağı düşünülmektedir.
