Abstract
Problem solving is essential skill for all students in the $21^{st}$ century. In particular, as the computing system ensures the effectiveness of problem solving in the various disciplines and real life, interest in learning algorithms to design a problem solving process is increasing. In order to improve problem solving skill, students should not only understand algorithm design skills but also apply appropriate skills to solve faced problem. In terms of these the puzzle can be considered a preferred learning tools to improve problem solving skill. Therefore, in this study we designed puzzled based algorithm learning and analyzed the impact of puzzle based algorithm learning on problem solving skills of leaners. As the results of research, we confirmed that the puzzled based algorithm learning took positive effect on enhancing problem solving skills of the learners.
