Problem Solving Skills

In this research, it is aimed to compare the problem-solving skills of students who play sports and non-sports by identifying the problem-solving skills of high school students. In total, 200 students were sampled in this study. 100 of them do not play sports at all and 100 of them playsports in one sports branch in at least one of four dıfferent hıgh schools in Afyonkarahisar. In the selection of the students, stratified sampling method was used in order to represent the students of every class. As data collection form, which was developed by Heppner and Petersen (1982) and whose validity and reliability studies were carried out by Şahin N.H., Şahin N. and Heppner (1993) and which included 32 items were used. For the data analysis; descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, repeated measures ANOVA and pearson correlation coefficients were employed. As a result of the research, it was determined that general problem solving skills of the students were moderate. While it was determined that the problem solving skills of the students who did sports were higher than those who did not do sports (p <0.05), it was found that the students who are doing sports are higher than those who do not sports in hasty, evaluative, safe and planned approach. However, the overall problem solving skills of the individual sports students were found to be higher than those of the team sports students (p<0,01). In addition, the students' problem-solving skills differ significantly from the classroom and sports branch group (p<0,05). The results of this research show that it positively affects problem-solving skills and thus there is a need to steer students to play sports and support them in accordance with students skills. ÖzetBu araştırmada, lise öğrencilerinin problem çözme becerilerini belirleyerek, spor yapan ve yapmayan öğrencilerin problem çözme becerilerinin karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklem grubunu Afyonkarahisar il merkezindeki dört lisede öğrenim gören ve 100’ü spor yapmayan, 100’ü de en az bir spor dalında faaliyet gösteren öğrenciler olmak üzere toplam 200 lise öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Öğrencilerin seçiminde her sınıftan öğrencinin temsil edilmesi bakımından tabakalı örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Veri toplama yöntemi olarak, Heppner ve Peterson (1982) tarafından geliştirilen ve Şahin N.H., Şahin N. ve Heppner (1993) tarafından geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmaları gerçekleştirilen ve 32 maddeyi içeren Problem Çözme Envanteri kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde; tanımlayıcı istatistik, tek yönlü varyans analizi, tekrarlı ölçümlerde varyans analizi ve pearson korelasyon katsayısı kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, öğrencilerin genel problem çözme becerilerinin orta düzeyde olduğu saptanmıştır. Spor yapan öğrencilerde problem çözme becerilerinin spor yapmayanlara göre daha yüksek olduğu saptanırken (p<0.05) spor yapan öğrencilerin aceleci, değerlendirici, güvenli ve planlı yaklaşımda spor yapmayanlara göre daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, bireysel spor yapan öğrencilerin genel problem çözme becerileri takım sporu yapan öğrencilere göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0,01). Ayrıca, öğrencilerin problem çözme becerileri eğitim gördüğü sınıf ve spor branşı grubuna göre anlamlı farklılık göstermektedir (p<0,05). Bu araştırma sonuçlarının ilgili kişi, kurum ve kuruluş tarafından önemle dikkate alınarak öğrencilerin yetenek ve istekleri doğrultusunda spora yönlendirilmeleri ve desteklenmeleri önerilmektedir.

Abstract Background:Smoking among adolescents and young adults is one of the most important preventable health problems. The etiology of smoking is one of the most important activities in designing prevention programs.The aim of this study was to detemine effective components of empowerment on smoking preventive behavior(SPB) in high school students in Urmia.Methods:This descriptive-analytical study carried out on 422 high school students. The data collection tool of this study was a valid and reliable researcher-made questionnaire containing demographic charectheristics, items related to various components of empowerment, and items related to the SPB. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods (frequency, mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression) in SPSS software with version 22.Results:The results showed that 10.42% of students were active smokers and 40.75% of them had the experience of smoking. The results also showed that there exists a positive and significant between among problem solving skill (r=0.394, p<0.001), self-efficacy(r=0.340, p<0.001), self-esteem(r=0.310, p<0.001) and attitude(r=0.333, p<0.001) with the SPB. In addition, a negative and significant correlation was shown between group dependence(r=-0.313, p<0.001) with the SPB. Overall, the components of empowerment were able to explain 26.5% of the variance in SPB. Among components, problem solving skills solely explained 15.5% of variance of SPB.Conclusion: The present study suggests that the study results can be useful for researchers and health planners who want to design and implement appropriate health interventions to prevent and control smoking in students.

Preparing high school students for engineering disciplines is crucial for sustainable scientific and technological developments in the USA. This paper discusses a pre-college program, which not only exposes students to various engineering disciplines but also enables them to consider engineering as the profession. The four-week long &ldquo;Engineering Innovation (EI)&rdquo; course is offered every year to high school students by the center of outreach, Johns Hopkins University. EI program is designed to develop problem-solving skills through extensive hands-on engineering experiments. A team consisting of an instructor, generally a PhD in Engineering, and a teaching fellow, generally a high school science teacher, closely work with students to pedagogically inculcate basics of core engineering disciplines such as civil, mechanical, electrical, materials, and chemical engineering. EI values independent problem-solving skills and simultaneously promote the team spirit among students. A number of crucial engineering aspects such as professional ethics, communications, technical writing, and understanding of common engineering principles are inculcated among high school students via well-designed individual and group activities. This paper discusses the model of EI program and its impact on students learning and their preparation for the engineering career.

This research aims to improve senior high school students’ physics problem-solving skills through learning used IBMR learning model. This research was a pre-an experimental study with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The Methods of data collection used validation and test. The materials used to teach were valid category by two experts and can be used to practice physics problem-solving skills. The average post-test score physics problem-solving ability was 73.24 with an N-gain of 0.59 was classified as moderate. The success of IBMR learning model-based devices in practicing problem-solving abilities can be seen in the increase in the average score in each indicator of problem-solving abilities. The indicator of understanding the problem had the highest post-test average score of 94.58 with an N-gain of 0.89 in the high category. The problem-solving indicator had the lowest posttest average score was 58.22 with N-gain 0.39 and mean that it was the moderate category. Based on the results study, it can be concluded that the learning used by IBMR learning model can practice the ability to solve physics problems on heat material and its displacement. Learning with the IBMR learning model was expected to train students in solving physics problems. The stages in the IBMR learning model can help students

The Way

Mathematics is or it should be about problem solving and math thinking. However, what mathematics students learn in schools is more about procedures for solving different types of math exercises and problems. In many cases, students learn by heart algorithms and words (math concepts) and use them for solving different math tasks. School math is very far from what mathematicians do and, in many cases, doesn’t motivate students for learning math. This paper presents the way we organized the assessment of the students’ skills developed through math research workshops and some of the assessment results. Even though we didn’t assess all the competences the students develop through the math research workshop, the findings show that the students certainly develop their problem-solving skills.
