Abstract

The aim
of this study is to investigate the innovation perceptions of teacher
candidates in the areas of mathematics, science and social sciences. The data
collection tools are the Turkish versions of the Individual Innovativeness
Scale (IIS) and Big5 Scale for personality characteristics. Multivariate linear
regression is the main data analysis technique. Results indicate that 47% of
the variation in the IIS is explained by the independent variables.

Keywords
