Abstract
This research paper was designed to study the effect of problem solving
approach on eighth class students for learning mathematics. The study was
experimental in nature. Quasi- experimental design (pre-test post-test control group
design) was used in this study. The sample of the study was consisted of intact groups
of students of eighth grade studying in a public girls’ school of Lahore. These intact
groups were randomly assigned to experimental and control group. Problem Solving
Approach (PSA) for the treatment was developed by the researcher using George
Polya’s (1973) heuristics steps of the problem-solving approach, covering three units
from the textbook of mathematics of eighth grade. Students of the experimental group
were taught with PSA. The control group was taught with the traditional method.
Result of the study revealed that students instructed through Problem solving teaching
approach having higher scores than students taught through traditional method. It is
recommended that teachers need to use problem solving approach for teaching eighth
grade students to improve their achievement in mathematics.
