The present study is an attempt to study the relationship in Achievement in Mathematics of higher secondary students in relation to their problem-solving ability, self-concept and attitude towards Mathematics. Problem Solving Ability Test scale (Dr. Roop Rekha Garg,1986), Self -concept scale,( Ms.Manju Agarwal ( 1995 ))and Mathematics attitude scale ( Dr. C. Dandapani,2015) were used to collect the data required for the study. The main objectives of the study were to find out if there is any significant relationship between variables taken for the study viz., Problem solving ability, selfconcept, attitude towards Mathematics and achievement in Mathematics of higher secondary students, Random sampling technique was applied in the present study. Data for the study was collected from 1000 higher secondary students from the schools in Thanjavur town. The findings revealed that there exists no significant relationship between Problem solving ability and attitude towards Mathematics, self-concept and Achievement in Mathematics of higher secondary students. There is significant relationship between Problem solving ability and Achievement in Mathematics of higher secondary students.
Dr.S.K.Sivasubramanian et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
