Abstract: (12 Views)
Objective: The purpose of the present study was to identify the characteristics of the content element in a curriculum based on entrepreneurial individual education at the elementary level and to validate these characteristics.
Methods: This study employed a mixed-methods approach with a qualitative–quantitative design. In the qualitative phase, data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Using purposive sampling, 34 semi-structured interviews were conducted to identify the characteristics of the content element. In the quantitative phase, a researcher-developed validation checklist in the form of a questionnaire was used. The questionnaire was evaluated by 20 experts using two indices: the Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and the Content Validity Index (CVI).
Results: The obtained CVR and CVI values indicated a high level of content validity for the designed questionnaire. The findings revealed that the characteristics of the content element in an entrepreneurship-based elementary curriculum emphasize entrepreneurship education, strengthening the psychological dimension of entrepreneurship, enhancing cultural and social entrepreneurial skills, and developing economic entrepreneurial skills.
Conclusions: The identified content characteristics can play an effective role in nurturing entrepreneurial individuals at the elementary education level and provide a valid framework for designing entrepreneurship-oriented curricula.
