Abstract
Problem solving ability is considered as one of the major skills associated with effective learning. Present educational system is giving due considerations for developing problem solving ability among children to cope with the need of the society. Though this ability can be acquired through various steps designed by cognitive scientists, we cannot assure that each one has acquired the ability. Many studies have proven the fact that problem solving ability is different among different persons. So, this paper is an attempt to study the differences in problem solving abilities among the higher secondary students with respect to three variables VIZ, gender, locale and type of management of the schooland to find out the interaction effects of the three variables. In the case of gender and locale the F value is 7.677 and there is significant interaction on the problem-solving ability at 0.05 level of significance. Similarly, in the case of locale and management the F value is 15.964 which is also significant at 0.05 level of significance. But we cannot find significant interaction between gender and type of management of the school on the problem-solving ability of the higher secondary students. It is also found that there is significant interaction effect (F value 7.667) on the problem-solving ability of the higher secondary students based on the interaction of gender, locale and type of management of the schoolcombined.
