Abstract

The aim of this study is to present the views of 5th-grade students who participated in the study about writing to learn (WL) activities, and the use of multi-modal representations (MMR) embedded WL activities. Quasi-experimental design as the quantitative research method and semi-structured interviews as the qualitative method were adopted in the study. Experimental and control groups were randomly selected. Instructions were distributed to help students for WL activities. The most basic discrepancy between the distributed instructions was the request of using MMR for the students in the experimental group. Except for this difference, all criteria in instructions are the same for both groups. End of the units, students explained units to their peers with WL activity. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 volunteer students from six experimental, six control groups about writing activities. In these interviews, statements were coded, themes were identified. These themes; "use of representation," "writing activity", "benefits to the student," and "desire to do homework again." The students who participated interview stated that they were learning by doing WL and planning before writing. Unlike the control group, experimental group students stated that using MMR was embedded in WL activities to help them define representations and provide clarity and meaning.
