The aim of this research is to examine the cursive italic handwriting of classroom
teacher department students and to review the spelling mistakes made by the students
of the classroom teacher department. In order to achieve this general purpose, the
examination of the writing of the letters according to the uppercase and lowercase
status, the italic and upright status of the writing and whether it conforms to the
guideline lines are considered as criteria. The research is structured with document
analysis and content analysis methods, which are qualitative data collection
techniques. The third grade students, who are studying in a training faculty in the
Central Anatolia region, are the research group. The data was created by collecting the
writing books used by the students studying in the third grade within the scope of the
course and analyzing the spelling errors by document analysis method. As a result of
the research, it was determined that the most mistakes were made by the male teacher
candidates, when examined according to the lowercase and uppercase, more mistakes
were made in the lowercase than the uppercase. When the text is examined according
to the italic status and the guideline; it was seen that the vast majority wrote
appropriate. It was observed that the majority of the part that did not write in
accordance with the guiding lines was written with a blank space without complying
with the line lines, while the other candidate teachers wrote it by overflowing the
guiding lines.
