Awareness Of Undergraduate Students Towards Social Entrepreneurship

ABSTRACT

Social entrepreneurship can act as an intermediary to strengthen the economy, environment, society, politics, and education locally and globally. A training platform is among the activities planned and implemented during the social entrepreneurship activity process. In this context, this study aims to reveal the views, perceptions, and perspectives of undergraduate students about social entrepreneurship with the information they have acquired in the entrepreneurship course at the university institution. Since undergraduate students studying at universities are social entrepreneur candidates of the future, their interests, expectations and knowledge levels constitute the main lines of the study. The study adopted a qualitative research method, and ‘focus group interview’ and ‘unstructured observation’ were used in data collection methods. The research study group consisted of 20 undergraduate students studying at a foundation university in the TRNC in the 2019-2020 academic year. As a result of the study, it was observed that the information that the students learned in the entrepreneurship course indirectly affected their awareness of social entrepreneurship.

Keywords: Entrepreneurship , Social entrepreneurship , Undergraduate students , Focus group.
