An Investigation of Middle School Students' Multiple Intelligence Domains and Intellectual Risk-Taking Skills in Science Learning as Predictors of Their Entrepreneurship Perceptions

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the relationship between middle school students' entrepreneurship perceptions, intellectual risk-taking skills in science learning, and dominant multiple intelligence domains. To this end, the study was conducted with a total of 314 students, including 158 female and 156 male students. Descriptive statistics, correlation and stepwise regression analyses were applied to the data obtained from students. It was observed that the students received high scores in the “interest in science” sub-dimension according to intellectual risk-taking in science learning and its predictors and the sub-dimension “social skills and group work” according to entrepreneurship perceptions. As a result of the correlation analysis, a statistically significant relationship was found between students' entrepreneurship perceptions and intellectual risk-taking skills in science learning and multiple intelligence domains. The level of correlation between logical and social intelligence domains, among multiple intelligence domains and entrepreneurship perceptions was found to be higher compared to other intelligence domains. In the study, it was concluded that logical and social intelligence domains and intellectual risk-taking in science learning, explained approximately 53% of the variance in entrepreneurship perception. Based on the study results, studies that examine changes in the entrepreneurship perceptions and characteristics of students can be carried out by preparing course contents enriched with activities that increase intellectual risk-taking and activities for multiple intelligence domains in science lessons.
