| Abstract | The aims of the study was to determine the relationship between conceptual and algorithmic problem solving achievement among grade 11 and 12 Physical Science learners in Highveld Ridge East and West circuits, compare the percentage of perfectly and incorrect solutions, problems not attempted and establish the problem solving strategies used by grade 11 and 12 learners. The target populations were grade 11 and 12 Physical science learners in Highveld Ridge East and West circuits; stratified random sampling was used to select schools and 61 scripts from each grade. An achievement test was administered at schools and scored by the researcher. Pearson moment coefficients at alpha 0.05 indicated that the relationship between algorithmic and conceptual achievement was weak and a moderate for grade 11 and 12 learners respectively and it was also established that Highveld Ridge East and West learners were weak in both conceptual and algorithmic problem solving. Since these results were found using a cross sectional design it is recommended that the same study be done using a longitudinal design and further studies can be done in other topics to establish the low algorithmic and conceptual problem solving achievement is universal or restricted to stoichiometry only. |
