Methods: This research is descriptive. A sample of 608 students who were at school at the time of collection of the study data and who agreed to participate in the survey were included. Three data collection methods were employed: 1) A socio-demographic questionnaire, 2) Individual Innovativeness Scale, 3) Problem Solving Inventory. Results: The individual innovativeness level score of the students participating in the study was 67.13 ± 8.19; and the problem-solving skill score was 89.82 ± 19.23. Conclusions: The students perceived their individual innovativeness level in the questionable category and perceived themselves as moderately competent in problem solving skills. The positive relationship between these two skills suggests that plans for the development of these skills in education should be made.enEducationhealth,innovation,problem solvingArticle10.55646/jaren.2022.30932Q1533651
