Abstract

This study aims to find out the mistakes of the attendants in writing. The study is descriptive and it is done by document review method. Data of the study has been derived from the writing tasks which were determined through the experts view and are suitable for the attendants. Attendants wrote in autobiography and memoir genres. Study group consists of 5 different groups; 4th grade primary schools students, 7th grade secondary school students, 9th grade high school students, first grade university students and varied-age students studying at public education centre. Each group has 10 and totally there are 50 attendants in the study. Findings have been handled into two different ways as writing errors and incoherency. Writing errors have been analysed under the titles of using capital letters, number writing, proposition and conjunction writing, and punctuation. Capital letter title is divided into sentence beginning, proper noun, heading and unnecessary usage subheadings; and punctuation title is divided into full stop, comma, apostrophe and terminal point subheadings. Incoherency have been analysed under the titles of using unnecessary word, element deficiency, subject-verb agreement, object-verb agreement. As the result of the study it is seen that there is no significant difference among the attendants from different ages and different education levels. This shows the inadequacy of Turkish education clearly.
