Abstract

This study aims to analyse and describe the problem-solving ability of senior-high-school students in Soppeng Regency. A quantitative descriptive design was employed. The population comprised all state senior high schools in Soppeng, and a cluster random sampling technique yielded 131 respondents. Data were collected using a problem-solving test whose validity and reliability had been previously confirmed. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. The mean problem-solving score was 74.41, placing the cohort in the “high” category; 84 % of students fell within this category. The highest-performing indicator was problem identification (M = 97.68, “very high”), whereas solution evaluation was the weakest (M = 50.66, “low”). These findings suggest that while students readily recognise biological problems, they require further support in reflective and evaluative aspects of problem solving.
