Özet: This study investigated the effects of problem-solving teaching methods on elementary school students’ physics achievement a telementary school. In this investigation, an experimental research procedure was used. Along with this, a sample of 60students was drawn from a total of 378 students using lottery method of sampling technique. Physics achievement test (pre-test and post-test) covering the unit ‘Introduction to Electronics’ was used as measuring instrument. Then, based on the pre-test scores, mixed ability groups, such as 15high scoring and 15low scoring, i.e., 30 students each, were assigned as experimental (13Fand17M) and control(15 F and15M) groups using lottery method of sampling technique. Students in the experimental group were taught using the problem-solving teaching method, while those in the control group were instructed with the lecture teaching method. The post-test constructed by the writer in the sample unit taught was administrated to both groups immediately after the treatment was over. Finally, the results of the study revealed that the problem-solving teaching method was more effective in teaching physics when compared with the lecture method at elementary school level.
