其他摘要：Problem solving is recognized as an important life skill involving a range of processes includinganalyzing, interpreting, reasoning, predicting, evaluating and reflecting. For that reason educatingstudents as efficient problem solvers is an important role of mathematics education. Problem solvingskill is the centre of mathematics curriculum. Students’ gaining of that skill in school mathematics isclosely related with the learning environment to be formed and the roles given to the students. Theaim of this study is to create a problem solving based learning environment to enhance the students’problem solving skill. Within this scope, students’ practiced activities and problems that provide themto proceed in Polya (1945)’s problem solving phases and throughout the study, students’ success inproblem solving have been evaluated. While experimental group students received problem solvingbased learning environment performed, control group students have continued their presentprogram in this quise-experimental study. Eleven problem solving activities were given to thestudents at the beginning, middle and end of the study and the students’ performances wereanalyzed based on problem solving phases. The findings illustrated that the experimental groupstudents’ success in problem solving activities has increased while the control group students’ successhas not changed significantly.
