Social innovation is to find an efficient, effective, permanent solution to a social problem or by taking advantage of existing solutions to create values by considering the interests of the society in general; To find solutions to economic, social and environmental problems. In this study, it is aimed to measure the perceptions of the concept of innovation and social innovativeness on senior university students. It is thought that the studies of universities in subjects such as innovation and social innovativeness play an important role in contributing to students individually, and especially senior students have a relatively higher level of awareness in the light of their education. Therefore, the universe of the research consisted of students who were studying in Sivas in the last year of the university in 2020-2021. Participants were selected by convenience sampling method. Social Innovation Scale (Halaç et al., 2014) was used to collect data. In order to test the hypotheses in the study, independent sample t test, one-way Anova test and analysis of mediating variables were performed. As a result of the analysis, it has been determined that the social innovativeness levels of the students differ according to their gender, education level, age and the regions they live in.
