The purpose of this study was to identify students’ problem-posing ability and students' attitude
towards problem solving. In addition, this study will also determine the relationship between students’ problemposing
ability and attitude towards problem solving. The sample consisted of 35 form 4 secondary school
students. Two instruments were used: the Mathematical Problem-Posing instrument and the Attitudes towards
Problem Solving instrument. The results revealed that students are capable of posing a 'Due Problem "better
than" Uno Problem'. Perseverance and confidence were moderate, while the dimensions of willingness were
at a high level. The findings also found no correlation between students’ problem-posing ability and students'
attitude towards problem solving.
Key words: Attitudes, confidence, perseverance, problem posing, willingness, ,
