Summary, etc. The present study aimed at describing the differences in non-experienced teacher s' preconceptions of writing as a communicative activity, of writing as a proces s, and their preference to writing. The study also addressed the question of whe ther or not the university background (AUB, LAU, or HU) had an effect on the thr ee dependent variables. Finally, the study investigated the effect on the three dependent variables. Finally, the study investigated the effect of the interacti on of both experiences and degree (less than BA, BA, or graduate) on the three d ependent variables.

A univarite analysis, and a Post-Hoc Tukey test. Data analysis rev ealed that no significant differences existed in the preconceptions of the writi ng process between non-experienced and in-service teachers and among teachers wi th differing levels of experience.

The second MANOVA test revealed that no significant differences existed in the perceptions of the writi ng process among participants from different university backgrounds. In addition , the third MANOVA test revealed that there was no satistically significant effe ct of the interaction between experience and degree on the participants' preconc eptions of the writing process, writing as a communicative activity, and their p reference for writing. Finally the results were discussed in light of previous r esearch finding, and ...
