5. Sınıf Üstün Yetenekli ve Üstün Yetenekli Olmayan Öğrencilerin Girişimciliklerinin Karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Developing entrepreneurial skills at all educational levels, but especially in the early years of education is critical for growing individuals that are able to adapt to a world that is rapidly changing and for the development of society at large. In order to stimulate students' entrepreneurial endeavors, educators, policymakers, and scholars need to understand the characteristics of their entrepreneurial behavior. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine a number of variables about the relative characteristics of entrepreneurship such as leadership and leadership responsibility, personal gain, need for achievement, and self-confidence among gifted students and those who are not identified as gifted in 5th grade. The present study employs a descriptive research model in order to reach generalizations by comparing some variables and entrepreneurship between gifted students and 5th-grade students who are not identified as gifted. Additionally, the causal comparison approach was utilized, by examining the research question separately by gender, school type, participation in science activities outside of school, the choice of a career related to mathematics and the perception of competence in mathematics. In terms of the scale, the results of the research show that there is no significant difference between gifted students and students without a diagnosis of giftedness. However, the average for gifted students is higher than the average for non-gifted students.
