摘要: This study examined the effects of problem-solving instructional strategy on Senior Secondary School students‟ attitude towards Mathematics in Ondo, Nigeria. The target population for was Two (SS II) students Purposive sampling technique employed to select 173 SS II study. A quasi-experimental, non-randomized, non-equivalent, pre-test, post-test control group involving a 2 x 3 factorial design dependent variable Mathematics. independent variables were and scoring levels. test scores analyzed using mean scores, standard deviations, t-test Analysis variance two null hypotheses formulated. An alpha level 0.05 used determine significant level. Findings from this showed that experimental significantly performed better than group. Based finding, it is recommended among others teachers should adopt use teaching at all levels education.
