Abstract

This study aims to determine the perception levels of the novice teachers' problem-solving skills as well as to what extent these skills change according to independent variables. This research is a general survey type research. The participants of the working group are 51 novice teachers. In this research Problem Solving Scale has been used. It has been understood that the novice teachers within the scope of the research do not have the characteristics mentioned. In other words, they do not rely on their problem solving skills and they think they are inefficient in that topic. Also, it has been determined that there is not a meaningful discrepancy among the views according to gender and choosing teaching. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
