Many similar qualities and skills among individuals having reflective thinking abilities and entrepreneurial individuals arise when reflective thinking, one of the higher-level thinking skills, is defined as the cognitive inquiry that will lead the individual to produce new knowledge and develop alternative ways. The purpose of this research is to identify whether physical education and sports teachers' reflective thinking themes predict entrepreneurial characteristics. Research is designed in accordance with the relational screening model. Semerci (2007), “Reflective Thinking Tendency Scale” and Yilmaz and Sunbul (2009), “Entrepreneurship Scale for University Students” were used as data collection tool. Multilevel regression analysis was benefitted in the analyze of the data.  As a result of this research, it is determined that effective and interrogated teaching sub-dimension was the most independent variable contributing to the entrepreneurial characteristics of physical education and sports pre-service teachers and this was followed by continuous and intentional thinking, responsibility of teaching and science and looking professional sub-dimensions. It has also been determined that sub-dimensions such as open-mindedness, foresighted and sincere and researcher do not make a meaningful contribution to the prediction of entrepreneurial characteristics. Based on these results, it can be said that a pre-service teacher with high entrepreneurial characteristics will have higher reflective thinking tendencies. Besides, it is also possible to analyze how thinking skills such as critical thinking, creative thinking, problem solving and supra-cognitive thinking predict entrepreneurial characteristics.

Hands On

Reflective thinking skills are vital for the modern education in schools. Five important reflective thinking skills are identified so far in the scientific literature: Observation, communication, judgment, decision making, and team working. Additionally, creative thinking is becoming more and more regarded as a necessary part of the educational process. In this chapter, an attempt is made to clarify what a sample of prospective teachers in Greece believe about reflective teaching, while at the same time their knowledge and attitudes towards creative thinking are examined. Results indicated that respondents were not fully informed during their formal university education about creative thinking and reflective teaching, while they also lacked hands-on experience and relevant skills. Future research should further focus on cross-cultural differences regarding creative thinking attitudes and reflective teaching in prospective and professional in-service teachers.

Instructional Technologies and Material Design (ITMD) lesson is a tool that enables Mathematics teacher candidatesto design materials for contributing to lasting learning of their students, and use them most effectively. This lessonhelps students to activate their creative thinking skills, increase their courage and self-confidence, find differentsolutions in the face of problems, and therefore introduce creative products. In this context, firstly, it is aimed toexamine the level of Mathematics teacher candidates' attitudes towards the Instructional Technologies and MaterialDesign lesson and their effects in terms of different variables in this study and then determine whether there is arelationship between creative thinking tendencies of Mathematics teacher candidates and their attitudes towardsInstructional Technologies and Material Design lesson in this study. The sample of the research constitutes of 315Mathematics teacher candidates who are studying in Mathematics Education Department spring semester of the2016-2017 academic year of at Necmettin Erbakan University. The data were obtained by applying Marmara CreativeThinking Tendency Scale (MCTTS) developed by Özgenel and Çetin (2017) and whose validity and reliability studieswere conducted to teacher candidates, and by applying the Attitude Scale towards Instructional Technologies andMaterial Design Lesson (ASITMD) developed by Çetin, Bağçeci, Kınay, Şimşek (2013) and whose validity andreliability studies were conducted. There was no significant difference between the Attitudes towards InstructionalTechnologies and Material Design Lesson and the Creative Thinking tendencies, in terms of gender variable, but it wasfound significant difference in terms of the high school graduation variable. However, it was obtained that there is apositive and non significant relationship between creative thinking tendencies of Mathematics teacher candidates andtheir attitudes towards Instructional Technologies and Material Design lesson.
