Özet

The study aims to examine the entrepreneurial and social entrepreneurial skills of gifted students atthe elementary school level. The study group consists of a total of 120 gifted students, including 50girls and 70 boys aged 8, 9, and 10 who are enrolled in elementary school. The study was conductedusing the survey model, which is one of the descriptive research methods. In the analysis of the data, itwas determined that the distribution was not normal, and accordingly, non-parametric tests such as theMann-Whitney U test and the Kruskal-Wallis H test were applied. The results of the analyses revealedno significant differences in the entrepreneurial and social entrepreneurial skills of the students basedon the variables of gender, age, mother's education level, and father's education level. These findingssuggest that the entrepreneurial potential of gifted students can develop independently of demographicvariables. The research findings highlight the need for educational programs to be structured in a waythat develops these skills from an early age.
