Abstract :

The purpose of this study was to Effectiveness of problem sloving Traning on variability of dependent cognitive style to independent cognitive style of school students. This experimental study was conducted with pretest-posttest and control group. Statistical population included all frist grade state and day high school male and female students in Holillan of Ilam in the academic year 2013-14(1392-93 s.c.) and the sampling method was multistage cluster sampling. The sample was comprised of 300 students(163 person mal student & 137 person femal student) that after measures the students discrimination between the figure students were randomly assigned into the four groups of 20 persons each(2 experimental groups and 2 control groups). The research instrument was Witkin's Group Embedded Figures Test (witkin et al, 1971), and experimental treatment was conducted on the experimental groups during 6 sessions and then posttest were administrated on the four groups. Statistical analysis was conducted by two-way analysis of variance and t test paried using SPSS21 software. Results showed the Effectiveness of problem sloving Traning causes of variability of dependent cognitive style to independent cognitive style of school students femal and mal. so by employing the method solving problem variability dependent to the independent cognitive style of male and female students.
