The purpose of this study was to carry out a design on the desired goals of curricula based on the components of entrepreneurship in elementary schools from the viewpoint of teachers and experts. Hence, the research employed grounded and applied methods. To collect data, a 22-item researcher-made questionnaire was designed in terms of knowledge, attitude, and skill. The sample size of 289 teachers was used using the Cochran formula, the entire statistical population was sampled as the statistical population of experts was limited. A random stratified sampling method was used to select the teachers’ sample. Frequency and percentages were used to analyze the data at the descriptive statistics level. In inferential statistics, the chi-square test was used at a 5% significance level. The results of the research revealed that, from the viewpoint of teachers and specialists, the desired goals in the entrepreneurial curriculum were well suited to the dimensions of knowledge, attitude, and skills.
