Abstract:

This study aims to study the perceptions of elementary fourth-class students of problem-solving skills in terms of the variables of "gender, academic success, parental education status and family monthly income". The research designed in the general scan pattern was carried out with 530 primary school fourth-class students. The data was collected through the "Problem Resolution Reserve for Children" developed by Cold, Cloud Cold and Respect (2010) and analysed by the application of visual analyses, t tests and anova tests based on the normality test. The research finds that primary school fourth-class students have a good level of problem-solving skills. However, it has been found that the perceptions of primary school students of problem-solving skills show significant differences in terms of the variables "gender" "academic success" and "family monthly income", while the variables "mother and father's educational status" show no significant differences.
