Abstract

Studies were reviewed to find out the relationship between problem-solving ability and academic achievement of school students. It was found that for the last few years, there is a significant positive relation between Problem-Solving Ability and academic achievement of school students. The review of various studies revealed that the problem-solving ability of boys is significantly higher than the girls. The study also concluded that there is a positive correlation between various factors like (personality, study behavior, learning style, scientific attitude, intellectual ability, examination anxiety etc.) and academic achievement.
