In Classical Turkish Literature, many works have been written with the form of Mathnawi poetry. In these works, different methods have been applied in the processing and presentation of the topics. One of these methods is telling a representation story in accordance with the flow of the subject. Representation means to transfer the event corresponding to a situation, reprisal, sameness. While the poet tells a story in his work, integrates this story with the topic and finds the story in accordance with the flow of the theme. In selected stories, the main purpose of the topic is observed. In the direction of its designated purpose, it is provided to advise to the reader and make them take lessons from the story. Reader's excitement is actuated and gaining new approaches is targeted. Thus, the poet tells repellent regarding the theme. Representation, as clarified to the narration of the poet it provides the fluency of the subject, removes its boredom, and makes an important contribution to the reader's understanding and learning. The reader, who identifies with the event and the hero in the story, takes the required lesson.
A method of representation may be useful to facilitate and make effective the Education and Teaching of Literature. It is necessary to clarify the abstract concepts and expressions by embodying the stories. By means of events selected from within life, desired changes in the minds and behaviour of students can be made with retaliation to illustrate the theme. The method of representation used in mathnawis should be handled and used in the course of primary, secondary and higher education. While this method is used, the content of the mathnawis having a rich narrative must be considered and many stories in these works should be updated and moved daily. By establishing the identification of the students with stories, a culture linking from the past to the present day and from the present to the past must be established.
In this study, it is explained what is the method of representation. How the representation was processed and practiced in the mathnawis of the classical Turkish poetry is exemplified. With excerpts from the works, which were written in different periods, are studied, and application of the method are shown. Approaches to the implementation of the method are classified. The place of the method of representation in education and training is determined. It is discussed how it can contribute to today's education and training. The use of this method in literature education and teaching is illustrated with examples.
