摘要：The aim of the present study is to figure out the perceptions of teachers regarding the efficiency of the two methods, namely, the “analysis” and “synthesis” methods, used in teaching reading and writing to first graders. The data of the study was collected through the survey method and participants of the study were 22 teachers working in 15 Primary Schools in Eskişehir during the 2004-2005 academic year. In order to get in-depth understanding about the perceptions of the teachers, a semi structured interview technique, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the data collecting process. In the analysis of the data, a descriptive analysis technique was used and the findings of the study were paraphrased in numbers. The findings of the study indicated that the participants believe that the analysis method is more advantageous than the synthesis method for first graders in terms of improving their reading comprehension skills, increasing their speed in learning to read and write, fostering their cognitive development, and refining their individual differences. Additionally, the findings of the present study revealed that teachers have encountered a variety of problems while practicing both of the methods.
