The general survey model was used in the research. The population of the research consists of the teacher candidates who study at Akdeniz University, Faculty of Education and Sports Sciences throughout the 2020-2021 academic year. In order to determine the entrepreneurship level of teacher candidates, a thirty-eight item scale was used in the data collection process.
