Abstract : Problem solving is an integral part of any physical science course. Chemistry, being such, involves problem solving. However, most students find the task of solving chemical problems a difficult one. The present study has been done so as to study the Problem solving ability in chemistry of the higher secondary students. Random sampling technique has been used in the selection of the sample of as many as 1000 higher secondary students and the Problem solving ability in chemistry test constructed and validated by the authors has been distributed to them and the responses were collected and computed according to the objectives framed. The findings of the study revealed that majority of the higher secondary students show average level of problem solving ability in chemistry and the same trend has been seen in respect of the sub-samples, too.
