Traditional pedagogy is often critiqued for conventional teaching methods that prevent students from developing their problem-solving skills. Therefore, this study focused on investigating the effect of a STAD approach on the problemsolving skills of secondary level students in physics. Quasi Experiment was conducted to compare the STAD method (experimental group) with traditional teaching methods (control group). Experiment was performed in a selected school having at least two sections of tenth grade. There were 30 students in each section and sections were randomly assigned as experimental and control groups. A test constructed by researchers was used to measure problem-solving skills before and after the experiment. Materials such as work sheets, lesson plans, quizzes, and rewarding certificates were designed to implement STAD methodology in the physics classroom. The dependent variable, physics problem-solving skills, was measured using researcher constructed ten items test consisted of physics numerical. The same tool was used as both pre and post measurement of problem-solving skills. The statistics indicated that the students taught through STAD improved their problem-solving skills in numerical problems of physics compared to those who were taught through traditional method. Additionally, post-test performance of students in groups was significantly different and experimental group outperformed the control group in problem-solving skills. This study demonstrated that the STAD is an effective teaching strategy for enhancing problem-solving skills of students at secondary level while using content of physics numerical.

One of the challenges in education is the deficiency in critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which can be attributed to the limited implementation of approaches that foster problem-solving. This study seeks to determine whether problem-solving skills within the Project-Based Learning (PBL) model affect students' learning outcomes at SMKN Sugihwaras in light vehicle engineering. The primary aim is to investigate the impact of problem-solving skills, fostered through the PBL model, on the learning outcomes of these students. The research adopts a predictive quantitative approach to foresee the influence of problem-solving skills within the PBL framework on student learning outcomes. Data collection methods include observations and student test results, while data analysis is conducted using simple linear regression. This statistical method assesses the effect of a single independent variable on a dependent variable. The simple linear regression analysis results reveal an R-squared value of 0.6063. This indicates that 61% of the variance in learning outcomes (y_score) can be explained by problem-solving skills (x_score), with the remaining 39% attributed to factors outside the model. Consequently, the study concludes that the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted, demonstrating a significant impact of problem-solving skills within the PBL model on the learning outcomes of class XI students at SMKN Sugihwaras.

AbstractThis cross-sectional study finds the relationship between interpersonal, problem-solving, and technical training skills and the performance of Ethiopia’s textile and clothing industries when mediated by their employee’s commitment and continuance. Through a survey conducted in 2023, 426 employees and HR managers of the textile and clothing industry provided cross-sectional data for the study. Co-variation matrix shows the outcome of hypothesis testing. To analyze the findings, structural equation modeling (SEM) was utilized. It was determined whether the data were adequate using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and the discriminatory validity was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). With the aid of the SEM model and AMOS software, mediation analysis was carried out. Because normative commitment’s factor loading was under .40, it was amputated or deleted. Its purpose normative commitment as an observed item was unable to account for commitment as a latent variable. As a result, the empirical evidence in the research demonstrated that problem solving and technical expertise are important for the operation of the clothing industry. The results also demonstrate that continuance, normative and affective commitment of employees act as mediators for Interpersonal, problem-solving, and technical training based imparted skills. The research will pave way forward to the textile industries in this regard by highlighting the significance of problem-solving and technical expertise on the performance of the cloth industries in Ethiopia by taking resource-based view and social exchange theory as theoretical lens.

Possessing social and problem-solving skills is essential for successful performance in life. The family and educational system can equip students with these vital skills. This study was carried out to determine the relationship between the family environment, social skills, and problem solving among female students. The research method was descriptive-correlational and the statistical population was comprised of all 511 female students studying in Qom vocational schools in 2017-18 school year. The drawn sample was selected through random multistage sampling method and the sample size was determined based on Morgan table. It is worth mentioning that in order to prevent sampling attrition the sample size was determined to be 240. The instruments included Family Environment Scale (Moos & Moos, 2009), the Teenage Inventory of Social Skills (Inderbitzen & Foster, 1992), and Social Problem Solving Questionnaire (D’Zurilla et al., 2002). For the purpose of data analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics were used. The results showed that there was a positive significant relationship between family environment, social skills and problem solving skill (positive and rational orientations); however, significant relationships were not observed between the components of negative, avoidance and impulsive orientations. Accordingly, it is suggested that specific training programs be designed for the promotion of these two psychological variables among students.

Computer Science subject have been introduced as a new subject in the Secondary School Standard Curriculum (KSSM) to equip students with problem solving and computational thinking skills. This Computer Science subject consists of three modules, namely Computer Programming, Database, and Human and Computer Interaction modules. As a new subject, two major problems that the teachers facing are the material and approach for teaching. Thus, the MyJavaSchool module was developed as an alternative teaching material for the form four Computer Programming modules. MyJavaSchool is a module to teach Java programming using Turtle Graphic and competency-based learning approach. This paper discusses the results of a study designed to examine students\' perceptions of the MyJavaSchool module as well as their perceptions and levels of motivation on the subject of Computer Programming. This study uses a quantitative approach where questionnaires are used to collect the data. The respondents were 126 form four students. The module and a guideline were given to the teacher to implement. After a few weeks of teaching, the questionnaire was distributed to the respondents. The findings showed that the students\' perceptions on the use of this module was at a good level with an average mean of 2.74. This indicates that students are still skeptical of the use of the MyJavaSchool module in learning computer programming. However, they are motivated by the learning approach used and intend to further their studies in Computer Science after they finish their secondary school. In conclusion it can be said that this module needs to be improved further. Examples for each topic need to be added because through the example, students can understand how their concepts and usage. The finding also shows that learning approaches are very important in motivating students.

The general purpose of this research is; to determine the level of the teachers' empathic tendencies and problem solving skills and whether they differ according to demographic variables. The research was conducted with a total of 500 teachers working in primary, secondary and high schools in the districts of Küçükçekmece, Bahçelievler and Başakşehir in the 2017-2018 academic year. Within the scope of the research, besides the demographic information form, the data were collected by using the problem solving inventory and the empathic tendency scale for teachers. The analysis of the data was done with the SPSS 25.0 package program. Accordingly, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, t test, ANOVA were used in the analysis of the data. According to the data analysis results, it was determined that the empathic tendencies of the teachers were at a medium level. Empathic tendencies of the teachers show statistically significant differences according to the variables of gender, age, marital status, professional seniority, educational status, type of school. This significant difference is in favor of female teachers, singles, those with 21 or more years of professional seniority, master graduates and teachers working in private / foundation schools. Empathic tendencies of teachers do not show a statistically significant difference according to the educational level variable. According to the data analysis results, it was determined that the problem solving skills of the teachers were at a high level. The problem solving skills of teachers differ statistically significantly according to the variables of age, professional seniority, educational status and the type of school they work. This significant difference is in favor of those who are 51 years and older, those who have 21 years and over professional seniority, master graduates, high school teachers. There is no statistically significant difference in problem solving skills of teachers according to the gender variable. It has been determined that there is a positive, moderately statistically significant relationship between teachers' empathic tendencies and problem solving skills. As teachers' empathic tendency increases, their problem-solving skills increase. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Our study was conducted with the aim of comparing the parameters such as personal control, self-care level, academic achievement and family characteristics that affect the problem solving skill levels of undergraduate and associate degree students studying in health departments. Our research is cross-sectional; those who study at the same university in one year; It was carried out on 200 students, 100 of whom are at undergraduate level and 100 of whom are at associate degree level. In order to obtain the demographic information of the students; the personal data collection form created by the researchers was used and the "Problem Solving Inventory (PSI)" was used to determine problem solving skill levels. Data collection forms and questionnaires were applied with one-on-one interview technique. The voluntariness of the participants was taken as a basis in filling out the questionnaires. After the descriptive statistics (frequency, mean, standard deviation) of the socio-demographic data obtained and the scale scores and sub-dimension scores were made, two independent groups were compared by looking at their normal distribution conformity. The mean age of associate degree students participating in our study was 20.6 ± 1.26, and 20.8 ± 3.07 for undergraduate students. In comparisons made with PSI, which consists of three different sub-parameters, associate degree students are significantly more successful than undergraduate students in terms of "approachavoidance", "personal control" and "problem solving questionnaire total score" (p<0.05). No difference was found in terms of "confidence in problem solving ability" sub-dimension. In the comparison of the Problem Solving Questionnaire by gender; no significant difference was found in sub-dimensions and total score (p>0.05). As a result; In all comparisons, problem solving abilities do not differ according to gender. The problem solving skill level was found to be moderate for both genders. As the education level increases; The psychological state, which has an effect on the quality of life, increases in the negative direction. In terms of problem solving abilities, a negative correlation was found with education level in all sub-categories. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
