| Article Name : | | | A Study Of Problem Solving Ability In Relation To Sex And Academic Achievement | | Author Name : | | | Shalika Gupta | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-1583 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | Problem solving refers to a state of desire for reaching a definite goal from a present condition that either is not directly moving toward the goal, is far from it, or needs more complex logic for finding a missing description of conditions or steps toward the goal It is the concluding part of a larger process that also includes problem finding and problem shaping. Considered the most complex of all intellectual functions, problem solving has been defined as a higher-order cognitive process that requires the modulation and control of more routine or fundamental skills. Problem solving has two major domains: mathematical problem solving and personal problem solving where, in the second, some difficulty or barrier is encountered. While problem solving accompanies the very beginning of human evolution and especially the history of mathematics, the nature of human problem solving processes and methods has been studied by psychologists over the past hundred years. Methods of studying problem solving include introspection, behaviourism, simulation, computer modeling and experiment. The investigator selected this topic in order to assess whether the problem solving ability depends on the academic achievement and sex. Further the variables of sex and academic achievement are dependent of each other, when problem solving ability is taken as the dependent variable is also measured. | | Keywords : | | - A Study Of ..............,
