AB The first purpuse of this investigation was to study the effects of sex and grade level on secondarystudents’ beliefs about epistemology and problem solving. The second purpuse was to analyze the contributionof both belief systems, grade level, and sex to problem solving achievement. One hundred and forty-four HighSchool students, 9th and 11th grade students, took part in the study. Two questionnaires (Schommer and StageKloosterman’s questionnaires) and a problem solving test (two word problems of the PISA tests) wereadministered to these students. Two ANOVAs, an ANCOVA, and a multiple regression analysis were carried outfrom data obtained in the investigation. In the light of the foregoing, it can be concluded that: a) The higher isthe grade level of secondary students, the more appropriate are beliefs about epistemology and problem solving;b) Students’ sex has a significant influence on epistemological beliefs, but not on beliefs about problem solving;and c) Students’ problem solving achievement depends on grade level and their beliefs about problem solving,and these beliefs are themselves dependent on students’ epistemological beliefs.
