Abstract
The aim of this study is to obtain a description of the mathematical problem-solving ability of first year students of the Statistics Department at Universitas Negeri Makassar, Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, based on the SOLO taxonomy and the cognitive style. This study uses a qualitative explorative method. The hypothesis of the study was that students who exhibit a field independent (FI) cognitive style have a higher level of capability in terms of the SOLO taxonomy levels for problem-solving of mathematics than students who have the field dependent (FD) cognitive style. The results of this study show that a SOLO taxonomy level for the GK-FD subject is pre-structural and the GK-FI subject is uni-structural.
