Summary/Abstract: This study reports the outcomes of a research, the purpose of which was to establish how solving dispersed data problems can affect studying effectiveness in physics. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests for students and questionnaires for teachers. The authors of this article created a new type of problem with superfluous or nonsufficient data that has been offered for solving: so-called dispersed data problems. The results showed that solving dispersed data problems increases studying effectiveness in physics.
