It has been seen that doing sports did not affect aggression (p > 0.05). While it has observed that doing sports affected the thinking approach (p = 0.019) sub-dimension in problem-solving skills, it did not affect other sub-dimensions (p > 0.05). As a result, it has been determined that gender does not affect aggression and problem-solving skills in secondary education students. While it was observed that doing sports did not affect aggression in secondary education students, it was found that the thinking approach in problem-solving skills did not affect the other sub-dimensions.
