Abstract

Abstract This study aims to examine how lifelong learning trends, usage of Web 2.0 tools, and digital literacy levels affect social entrepreneurship characteristics. The study used the descriptive cross-sectional survey model. In this context, Social Entrepreneurship Qualifications Scale, Lifelong Learning Trends Scale, Digital Literacy Scale and the Frequency of Web 2.0 Usage Questionnaire were applied to the prospective teachers (N=809) studying at Sakarya University Faculty of Education. Two different models were created with Structural Equation Modeling based on the data obtained, and these two models were combined to be tested. It was concluded that lifelong learning trends, digital literacy levels and frequency of using Web 2.0 tools have a direct and indirect impact on social entrepreneurship. Key words: digital literacy; lifelong learning; social entrepreneurship; structural equation modelling (SEM); Web 2.0. --- Sažetak Cilj je ovoga rada istražiti kako trend cjeloživotnoga ucenja, upotreba Web 2.0 alata i razina digitalne pismenosti utjecu na karakteristike socijalnog poduzetnistva.

Zakljuceno je da trendovi cjeloživotnoga ucenja, razine digitalne pismenosti i ucestalost upotrebe Web 2.0 alata imaju izravan i neizravan ucinak na socijalno poduzetnistvo.\xa0 Kljucne rijeci: cjeloživotno ucenje; digitalna pismenost; socijalno poduzetnistvo; strukturalno modeliranje;\xa0 Web 2.0.
