“…Indivíduos com essa característica tendem a se envolver em suas próprias empresas, buscando maneiras de mudar e melhorar as atividades (Leavitt & Walton, 1975). A inovação faz parte da propensão ao empreendedorismo e promove a criação de ideias que podem se tornar novos empreendimentos (Menold et al, 2014;Solhi & Koshkaki, 2016).…”

Resumo O objetivo foi desenvolver e validar uma Escala de Mensuração da Propensão ao Empreendedorismo e seus Antecedentes (EMPEA). A base teórica diz respeito à Propensão ao Empreendedorismo e às características individuais prévias (comportamento inovador, necessidade de autonomia, necessidade de realização, proatividade, autoeficácia, locus de controle interno/externo, tolerância/intolerância à ambiguidade, propensão ao risco e aversão ao risco). Os procedimentos metodológicos são um estudo misto, utilizando as abordagens qualitativa (seleção de características individuais e elaboração de itens) e quantitativa, por meio de análise multivariada de dados. Os resultados revelam que todos os construtos atendem aos parâmetros necessários para a realização da Análise Fatorial Exploratória (AFE). Após a redução, todos apresentaram boa confiabilidade com alfa de Cronbach maior que 0,70, indicando que todos os construtos do EMPEA são estatisticamente confiáveis. Na versão final, restaram 56 itens, sendo 9 de Propensão ao Empreendedorismo e 47 de características individuais. A elaboração de itens para mensurar a propensão ao empreendedorismo, bem como a identificação de um conjunto de características individuais que o antecedem, amplia o entendimento sobre esse tema, uma vez que diversos estudos não o mensuraram como construto, sendo esta a principal contribuição do presente estudar. Considerando que a AFE é uma técnica de interdependência na qual os fatores são formados para mostrar o poder explicativo de um conjunto de variáveis, não permitindo que um ou mais fatores sejam considerados preditores de outro fator, pesquisas futuras poderiam realizar a Análise Fatorial Confirmatória propondo um modelo de como essas características individuais antecedentes podem estar direta ou indiretamente relacionadas à Propensão ao Empreendedorismo.

“…Lukes and Stephan (2017) indicate that innovative behavior refers to actions strategized to generate ideas and their subsequent implementation. Menold, Jablokow, Purzer, Ferguson, and Ohland (2014) propose that innovation is a general aspect of the personality and can be understood as the acceptance of novelties (Goldsmith & Foxall, 2003). Individuals with this individual characteristic tend to get involved in their own companies, looking for ways to change and improve activities (Leavitt & Walton, 1975).…”

This article develops and validates a Measurement Scale of the Propensity to Entrepreneurship and its Antecedents (MSPEA). The theoretical basis concerns the Propensity to Entrepreneurship and the previous individual characteristics (innovative behavior, need for autonomy, need for achievement, proactivity, self-efficacy, locus of internal/external control, tolerance/intolerance to ambiguity, risk propensity, and risk aversion). The methodological procedures involved the qualitative (selection of individual characteristics and elaboration of items) and quantitative approaches through multivariate data analysis. The results reveal that all constructs meet the necessary parameters for performing Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). After reduction, all presented good reliability with Cronbach’s alpha greater than 0.70, indicating that all MSPEA constructs are statistically reliable. In the final version, 56 items remained, 9 of which were of Propensity to Entrepreneurship and 47 of individual characteristics. The elaboration of items to measure the propensity to entrepreneurship and the identification of a set of individual characteristics preceding it expands the understanding of this theme since several studies did not measure it as a construct, which is the main contribution of this study. Considering that EFA is an interdependence technique in which factors are formed to show the explanatory power of a set of variables, not allowing one or more factors to be considered predictors of another factor, future research could perform the Confirmatory Factor Analysis proposing a model of how these antecedent individual characteristics can be directly or indirectly related to the Propensity to Entrepreneurship.

“…With the constant drive for innovation in the world's economy and the increasing demand for graduating students who are more innovative contributors to society, interest in defining and measuring individual innovativeness is growing (Menold, Jablokow, Purzer, Ferguson, & Ohland, 2014;Yenice & Alpak Tunç, 2019;Weis, Scharf, & Gryl, 2017). Accordingly, teaching programs must be prepared in such a way as to serve to educate individuals who can investigate, inquire, solve the problems they encounter, and benefit themselves and society; in short, who are qualified to respond to the needs of contemporary society (Menold et al, 2014). For this purpose, it is seen that to keep up in the innovation race, the subject of 'Engineering and Design Skills' was added to the 2018 Turkish Science Curriculum.…”

Innovativeness in Science Education: An Examination of Secondary School Students’ Perceptions

As innovation has gained importance worldwide, educating students as individuals with innovative qualities has become imperative. Therefore, identifying students' perceptions of innovativeness in science lessons has become an issue of concern. The aim of this study was to determine secondary school students' perceptions of innovativeness. The research was conducted according to the survey method. 'Perceptions of Innovative Thinking Scale,' was revised, and necessary scale development steps were followed. Accordingly, secondary school students' general innovative thinking perceptions and the relationships of the scale subdimensions with the variables were determined with single and correlational survey models. After the responses that 831 students gave to the scale were analysed, it was determined that the students' perceptions of innovativeness were high and that gender excepted, grade level, achievement in the subject of science, participation in the TÜBİTAK 4006 science fair, and the case of receiving programming training created significant differences in the subdimensions. The research findings were discussed according to the literature. It was recommended that STEM and programming be included in science courses and that teachers guide these processes.
