Researching the problem solving abilities of the college students in
Albania and Turkey by various variances is the general purpose of
this research. Within the frame of this general purpose, “are the
sub-dimensions of the problem solving inventory of the students of
Epoka University of Albania and Selcuk University of Turkey
differentiating and according to variances of gender, age and
university department?” were researhed. 526 randomly selected
undergraduates from the Business, International Relations,
Computer Engineering and Civil Engineering departments of the
Epoka and Selcuk Universities constituted the sample of the study.
Epoka University of Albania was added to the research population
with Selcuk University of Turkey because of the fact that the
students of it were graduated from Turkish High Schools and they
could talk, understand, read and write in Turkish language. The
"Problem Solving Inventory" adapted to Turkish by Sahin, Sahin
and Heppner (1993) was used in the collection of data. In the study
it was determined that the students of Epoka University exhibit
more positive problem solving approaches in terms of impatient,
avoidant and self-confident approaches than the students attending
to Selcuk University. It was also determined that the total problem
solving inventory points of the students of the both universities did
not differentiate in terms of gender and the departments they attend
to, but exhibited a significant difference in terms of the variable of
age.
