Abstract :

This study aimed to develop and validate an evaluation tool for the basic education system from the perspective of the infrastructure of entrepreneurship education, using a mixed approach that combined qualitative and quantitative methods. In the qualitative part of the study, a targeted sampling method was used to select 12 experts who were interviewed through semi-structured interviews with theoretical saturation criteria. In the quantitative part, a multistage cluster random sampling method was used to select 385 teachers, principals, and counselors from three elementary, middle, and high school levels. The results of the interviews were analyzed using MAXQDA 2020 software, and all the constituent categories of the evaluation of the basic education system were determined from the perspective of the infrastructure of entrepreneurship education. A questionnaire with 36 questions in three dimensions (fundamental, structural, process) was developed, and the form, the structural validity and content validity of the questionnaire were examined and as result three questions were removed. The results showed that all questions had a factor loading of 0.7 or higher and an average variance extracted of 0.5 or higher, and the reliability of both criteria (alpha Cronbach, composite reliability) of all dimensions was above 0.9. The designed tool has good validity and reliability and can be used to evaluate the basic education system from the perspective of entrepreneurship education infrastructure. These findings provide valuable insights into the evaluation of the basic education system and highlights the importance of entrepreneurship education in this context.
