Investigation of Middle School Students’ Self Efficacy and Entrepreneurship Level Towards Learning Science in Terms of Demographic Factors

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine whether the levels of self-efficacy and science-based entrepreneurship for science course of middle school students in 6th, 7th and 8th grade change in terms of gender and educational level of their parents. For this purpose, among quantitative research approaches, descriptive method was used in study. The sample of the study consisted of 216 students enrolling middle schools in Yakutiye and Palandoken district of Erzurum province. Convenience sampling method was used in the study.  As data collection tools, The Demographic Information Survey, Science Based Entrepreneurial Scale for Middle School Students and Self-Efficacy Scale for Science Learning were used. As a result, self-efficacy and science-based entrepreneurship levels of students do not make a significant difference in terms of gender, while they make a significant difference in terms of parents' educational level. As parents' education levels increase, their children's self-efficacy for science and science-based entrepreneurial scores are increasing. Finally, there is a strong positive correlation between students' self-efficacy for science learning and science-based entrepreneurial.
