Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the problem-solving skills of students studying at the Faculty of Sports Sciences of Uşak University and to examine individuals in terms of their personal variables. 290 students, 85 female and 205 male, participated in the study voluntarily at Uşak University Faculty of Sport Sciences. As a data collection tool in the research; “Personal Information Form” and “Problem Solving Inventory (PSI)” developed by Heppner and Peterson were used to determine problem solving skills.According to the normality test results performed to determine the appropriate analysis method for the data, the p-value for the problem solving scale was greater than 0.05. The total scores of the problem-solving scale match the normal distribution. For this reason, while investigating the significant differences, the parametric tests; t-test and ANOVA were used.No significant difference was found between the gender, age variable, monthly income level, monthly income level of families, education level of the parents, the region where the students live, the high school variable that the students graduated from, and the total scores of these students’ problem solving skills (p>0.05). As a result, according to the findings; it has been determined that sports have positive effects on the problem solving skills of the students at the Sport Sciences Faculty.
