This research aimed to determine the effect of active learning methods on middle school students' entrepreneurship skills in social studies lessons. A mixed method experimental design was adopted in the research. The research study group consisted of 59 middle school students, 29 of whom were in the experimental group and 30 in the control group. A multilevel mixed-method sampling strategy was used to determine the study group. In the research, Entrepreneurship Scale for Middle School Students, semi-structured interviews, anecdotal records, and a checklist were used as data collection tools. In order to determine the effectiveness of active learning methods, one-way covariance analysis, in which the pre-test scores were determined as the covariate, was employed between the post-test scores of the experimental and control groups. The inductive analysis approach was adopted in the analysis of qualitative data. It was found that the active learning methods had a significant and positive effect on the experimental group. The students stated that the active learning methods applied in the social studies lessons contributed to developing their entrepreneurial skills, establishing a competitive environment among the students and the group work opportunity. Furthermore, the students found active learning methods fun and instructive, increasing participation and motivation for the lesson.

The study was conducted with 24 fifth-grade students in a public school in Istanbul. The study, which was planned in line with the qualitative research principles, was designed as action research, and the study was carried out in accordance with the action plans prepared in this regard. Depending on the action plan prepared, 5 different out-of-school learning activities were planned within 8 weeks, and in this con text, visits were made to Istanbul Archeology Museum, Atatürk Arboretum, Bursa (Grand Mosque of Bursa, Green Tomb), Ebru Workshop, Eminönü Square. In the out-of-school learning-based social studies teaching process, activities such as search-and-find activities and orienteering were implemented in the environments visited. The main data that source the results of the study consist of student opinions about the process, external observer notes, and photographs taken during the activities. At the end of the study, it was concluded that students' knowledge of cultural heritage elements diversified with the visits made during the social studies lessons carried out based on out-of-school learning, and that obtaining concrete experiences related to cultural heritage elements positively affected their sensitivity. In line with the results obtained, recommendations were presented regarding the use of out-of-school learning-based activities more frequently in teaching processes, making out-of-school learning guidebooks functional, and textbooks in the context of developing the value of sensitivity to cultural heritage.
