Özet
This study is intended to detect the relationship between creative writing skills of eighth-grade primary school students and their self-efficacy. Relational screening model was used in the study. The population of the study included the eighth-grade students from the schools of central Ankara who received education in the school year of 2010 and 2011. Because the whole of the population could not be reached, 518 eighth-grade students from lower, middle and upper socioeconomic strata (Mamak, Yenimahalle, Çankaya) were used as sample.To collect data, “Personal Information Form”, “Writing Self-efficacy Scale”, the students were given writing tasks in order to determine their success in creative writing and referenced rubric used in the evaluation of these studies. The data collected were analysed through SPSS 16.0. A positive, medium-level and meaningful relationship was observed between students’ creative writing skills and their self-efficacy perceptions in writing. Accordingly, the students with a high level of self-efficacy had a better creative writing skill. There was a positive low-level and meaningful relation between students’ creative writing skills and their performance goal orientations and their learning goal orientations. Accordingly, the fact that students have performance or learning goal orientations is not directly influential on their creative writing skills.
