The main purpose of this study was to investigate how well certain students in a high school solve non-routine problems. These problem situation required the use of their conceptual understanding of mathematics and their procedural knowledge of the algorithm involved in the solution. Results of analysis of students’ solutions showed that each student employed at least three problem solving strategies. Nine out of the ten possible problem solving strategies were used at least once to solve the eight non-routine problems. The most frequently used strategies were making systematic list, looking for patterns, logical reasoning and making a model or diagram. Those who performed well were also proficient in the use of solution strategies.

Bu araştırmanın amacı lise öğrencilerinin rutin olmayan problem çözme beceri düzeylerinin ve kullandıkları stratejilerin başarı durumlarına göre dağılımını saptamak amaçlanmaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda öğrencilerin kavramsal anlama, işlemsel bilgi düzeyleri ve problem çözme becerileri incelenmiştir. Durum çalışması deseninin kullanıldığı bu araştırma 18 öğrenci ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırma sonuçları her bir öğrenci en az üç farklı problem çözme stratejisi kullandığını göstermektedir. Araştırmadaki rutin olmayan sekiz problemde kullanılması muhtemel olan on stratejiden dokuzunu öğrenciler en az bir kez kullandıkları görülmüştür. En çok birlikte kullanılan stratejiler sistematik liste yapma, örüntü-bağıntı bulma, mantıksal düşünme, şema çizmedir. Problem çözme becerisi usta düzeyinde olan öğrencilerin stratejileri etkin bir şekilde kullandıkları görülmüştür.
