Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">From </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">womb to tomb,</span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"> each individual </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">faces</span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"> some problem or other. There are various needs, which are to be satisfied and </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">desire</span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"> to be fulfilled, and for this, definite goals are to be set by the individual. In order to achieve the goal, individuals go on making attempts and face many obstacles and inferences. It creates a problem for the individual and makes deliberate effort to overcome the problem, which is problem solving. </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">This paper is purported</span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"> to identify the problem solving ability of visually challenged adolescents and how it influences them in their learning process and social environment in which they live. First it reviews the impact of social cognitive ability of problem solving on </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">visually challenged</span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 176, 80);"> </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">adolescents, then it focuses on the learning difficulties encountered by </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">them </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">in solving problems, and finally, </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">it evaluates teachers&rsquo;</span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"> role and provides implications for assistance</span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">. Adolescents develop problem solving through tasks which challenge them to display their grasp and use of skills that are important in their domain. It involves the skills of team work, communication, and analytical approach. The ability to solve problems in a range of learning context is essential for the development of knowledge, understanding and performance.&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
