Journal Title: The Journal of International Social Research - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 47

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the problem solving and problem-solving strategies levels of secondary school students. We carried out the study by sampling method with a total of 72 students from the two provinces in the Black Sea region of Turkey selected by random in the second term of the 2014-2015 academic year. In this qualitative research for the case study, content analysis was applied. In the study, as data collecting tools, we used two creative problems developed by Smith (1997) and adapted into Turkish by the researchers. The problems applied were evaluated according to Polya's stage of problem solving (1945). Prediction and control, logical reasoning, predicting, relations building strategies were also used in each of the two problems. In the evaluation phase of the problems, the results obtained from each of the three problems demonstrate that the students could be good at evaluating the answers to which the students give.
