Abstract:

 

This study aims at investigating the factors affectıng the prospectıve teachers 'ınnovatıveness level by structural equatıon modelıng. For this purpose, the predictive relationships between gender, grade level, department, and risk-taking behaviors, and pre-service teachers' innovativeness levels were analyzed by path analysis. In the study, the correlational predictive design was used to investigate the relationship between variables. The participants of the study consisted of 293 science, social studies, and elementary prospective teachers. The Innovativeness Scale and The Scale of Academic Risk-taking were used to collect the data. According to the results of the study, it is concluded that grade level is not a statistical predictor of both risk-taking and innovativeness. However, gender has a significantly small effect on ART. Furthermore, it was concluded that risk-taking behavior is an important predictor of the pre-service teachers' level of innovativeness. So it can be suggested that prospective teachers should be planned to increase their risk-taking behaviors during the teaching process.
