The study employed a quantitative method and survey design, and the study group consisted of 126 students in the fourth grade of primary school selected using a convenient sampling technique. Data for the first and second sub-problems of the study were collected over a period of five weeks using student video recordings, plan sheets, and a persuasive speech rubric. These recordings and sheets were assessed by two raters. The collected data were presented in the form of themes and descriptive tables. The results of the study indicated that the persuasive speech skills of the students were largely at medium and low levels. In addition, the results showed that female students demonstrated relatively higher levels of success in terms of persuasive speech skills compared to male students. A literature review was also conducted for the third sub-problem of the research, and examples of achievements in relation to persuasive speech skills for fourth-grade students werepresented. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that students generally require the development of their speaking skills, with a particular focus on persuasive speech.  \nKeywords: Speaking, Persuasive Speech, Level of Determination  \nDOI: 10.29329/epasr.2023.548.3  \nSubmitted:19 December 2022 Accepted: 28 March 2023 Published: 01 June 2023  \n1 This study includes part of the first author’s PhD thesis supervised by the second author.  \n2 PhD student, Uşak University, Uşak, Türkiye, ORCID: (0000-0002-8000-0232)  \nCorrespondence: [seymazdl@gmail.com](seymazdl@gmail.com)  \n3 Prof. Dr., Faculty of Education, Uşak University, Uşak, Türkiye, ORCID: (0000-0001-7581-3821), Email: [erol.duran@usak.edu.tr](erol.duran@usak.edu.tr)  \nIntroduction  \nSpeaking is an essential skill for individuals to convey their thoughts, feelings, and opinions. Effective and efficient communication is often achieved through speaking, making it a prevalent activity in both daily and academic settings. The content, structure, and contextual factors of a speech contribute to its classification based on its purpose, method, speaker-listener relationship, level of preparation, and form. These categories can include informative and entertaining speeches, free and planned methods, interactive and non-interactive speaker-listener relationships, prepared and unprepared speeches, and questioning, descriptive, and persuasive forms (Örge-Yaşar, 2020) .  \nPersuasive speeches are a type of communication that plays a vital role in everyday life, similar to other types of communication. In the literature, persuasive speeches are commonly referred to as a type of discourse (Altunbay, 2021, p. 60; Kardaş, 2020; Kardaş & Tunagür, 2018, p. 144; MEB, 2009, p. 355; Yalçın, 2018, p. 329), a method of communication (Gündüz & Şimşek, 2014; MEB, 2006, p. 64), a communication strategy (Kurudayıoğlu & Kiraz, 2020; MEB, 2019, p. 47), or a form of communication (Güneş, 2021, p. 125) . Due to their rich content, purpose-oriented nature, requirement for preparation, and structured format, persuasive speeches can be considered a type of prepared communication.  \nIn a persuasive speech, the speakers aim to agree with the listener about the view they present and explain to the listener using evidence for this purpose (Demirel & Şahinel, 2006, p. 174; Kardaş& Tunagür, 2018, p. 144) . In a persuasive speech, the views presented by the speaker should be acceptable (Güneş, 2021, p. 124); arguments should be appropriate to the cognitive level of the listener, and the message should be presented in an easily accessible structure (Kurudayıoğlu & Gociaoğlu, 2021, p. 315) . In addition, speech elements such as body language, the method of vocalising the te","cbCaipXcsafR4K8U","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipXcsafR4K8U","pdf",438641,21,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Role and classification of speaking skills\n## Persuasive speech as a prepared communication\n## Elements and preparation principles of persuasive speech\n## Study aim and method overview","[{\"question\":\"What was the main purpose of the research?\",\"answer\":\"The research aimed to identify the persuasive speech skills of fourth-grade primary school students.\"},{\"question\":\"How were the students’ persuasive speaking skills assessed?\",\"answer\":\"Over five weeks, the study used student video recordings, plan sheets, and a persuasive speech rubric.
