Betimsel tarama modelinde tasarımlanan araştırmanın örneklemini Şanlıurfa merkezde bulunan 19 okulda görev yapan toplam 320 öğretmen oluşturmaktadır.    Araştırmada öğretmenlerin bireysel yenilikçilik düzeylerini ölçmek için Hurt, Joseph ve Cook (1977) tarafından geliştirilen “Bireysel Yenilikçilik Ölçeği’nin” Türkçe formu kullanılmıştır ve bu form  Kılıçer ve Odabaşı (2010) tarafından geliştirilmiştir. Araştırma verilerinin analizinde betimleyici istatistikler kullanılmış ve bu kapsamda   ortalama, frekans, yüzde, standart sapma,  t-testi ve tek faktörlü varyans analizi (one-way ANOVA) gibi analizlere yer verilmiştir.  Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, öğretmenlerin bireysel yenilikçilik düzeyleri  orta düzeyde; yenilikçilik kategorileri ise  “sorgulayıcı”  kategorisindedir.  Öğretmenlerin bireysel yenilikçilik özellikleri cinsiyetlerine gore anlamlı bir biçimde değişmezken; yaş ve görev yapılan lise türü değişkenleri bakımından anlamlı farklar göstermektedir. Bu doğrultuda, genç öğretmenlerin ve fen liselerinde görev yapan öğretmenlerin bireysel yenilikçilik düzeyleri ileri yaşlarda olan ve diğer liselerde (Anadolu ve Meslek liseleri) çalışan öğretmenlere göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur.  Bu doğrultuda, öğretmenleri daha yenilikçi kılmak için mevcut bürokratik, örgütsel ve bireysel engellerin ortadan kaldırılması, öğretmenlerin yeni uygulamaları denemeye, risk almaya, işbirliği yapmaya, yaratıcı fikirlerini ifade etmeye ve paylaşmaya  teşvik edilmesi  gerekmektedir. Çalışmanın genellenebilirliğini arttırmak için  çalışmanın  farklı eğitim kademelerini de içerecek biçimde genişletilmesi, örneklem sayısının arttırılması sağlanabilir.
