The Independent-t test was applied to examine the difference between the experimental and control groups and the effect of the gender independent variable. And for calculating the difference of pre-test and posttest, Test of Paired Sample was applied According to the parameter of problem solving skill, there was a significant difference between value of the pre-test and value of the post-test on experimental group (<0,05), pbut There was no significant difference between pre-test and post-test values depending on gender variable (>0,05). As a result, it is thought that exercises have a positive change on problem solving skills on the students who taking tennis education. ÖzetBu çalışma tenis eğitimi alan ve almayan öğrencilerin, problem çözme becerilerini inceleme ve karşılaştırma amacı ile yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya tenis eğitimi alan 40 öğrenci ile bu eğitimi almayan 40 öğrenci olmak üzere toplam 80 öğrenci gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Araştırma deneme modelinde tasarlanmıştır. Çalışmada, Hepner ve Peterson (1982) tarafından geliştirilen, Türkçe’ye uyarlaması ise Şahin, Şahin ve Heppner (1993) tarafından yapılan Problem Çözme Envanteri kullanılmıştır. Deneme grubu haftada 3 gün, günde 2 saat ve toplamda 3 aylık bir tenis eğitimi programına katılırken kontrol grubu herhangi bir düzenli çalışmaya katılmadan normal yaşamlarına devam etmiştir. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde ve hesaplanmış değerlerin bulunmasında SPSS 20.0 istatistik paket program kullanılmıştır. Deneme ve kontrol grupları arasındaki fark ve cinsiyet bağımsız değişkeninin etkisinin incelenmesi için Bağımsız-t testi yapılmıştır. Ön test-son test arasındaki farklılığın tespiti için ise, Bağımlı-t testi yapılmıştır. Araştırmada, problem çözme becerisi değişkenine göre, deney grubu ön test-son test değerleri arasında anlamlı farklılık bulunmuş (p<0,05), cinsiyet değişkenine bağlı olarak ön test-son test değerleri arasında anlamlı farklılık bulunamamıştır p>0,05). Sonuç olarak, tenis eğitimi alan öğrencilerde problem çözme becerileri egzersize bağlı olumlu yönde değişiklik gösterdiği düşünülmektedir.
