The coefficient of internal consistency for 20-items scale was calculated as 0,822. As a result of the research, the students’ innovation levels were mostly determined as “interrogator” (47,1 %) and “suspicious” (24,9 %). While it was determined that there was a significant difference statistically between the students’ innovation levels and the gender, school and departments, it wasn’t determined that there was a significant difference statistically between the innovation levels and their class, their mothers’ educational status, their fathers’ educational status and the families’ income status.},author={Emine GENÇ-- Kemal YAVUZ - Sibel AYDEMİR},year={2017},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
