This study aims at analyzing primary school teachers' opinions on cursive writing and their metaphorical perceptions. The study is a qualitative research. Semistructured interview method was employed to identify opinions of the teachers more clearly. The study group of the research study consisted of primary school teachers who worked at public and private schools in Bayrampasa, Kucukcekmece, Basaksehir, Kartal, Maltepe, Pendik districts of Istanbul province in the 2017-2018 academic year and participated to the study on a voluntary basis. 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 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. The valid metaphors were coded appropriately, and afterwards, themes were created according to the related codes. The codes were associated with an inductive method and a code-theme matrixing was provided. As a result of the study, the metaphors concerning the cursive writing were categorized as codes and themes.
