Abstract
Students have many epistemological beliefs about mathematics. The purpose of this study is to examine how effective epistemological beliefs of problem solving in the problem solving process of trigonometry, equations and geometry questions. In this study, non-positivist paradigm with interpretive approach can be seen. Multi-methods approach used in this study by using problem sets and interviews. This study is qualitative in terms of the data obtained. Non-probabilistic convenience sampling technique is used to select 47 students from the year 10 of a public high school with special status. The data in this study is analyzed by descriptive statistics. Results revealed that students’ mathematics (epistemological) beliefs for problem solving process can be seen in different forms one of which was that students strongly believes that the results in the mathematics problem should be short and simple. Key words: Problem solving, epistemological beliefs
