Abstract
The objective of this study is to determine the effect of cognitive style on students’ mathematical problem-solving ability. This study used the survey method with a quantitative approach. One class consisting of 32 students was selected by purposive sampling for the study sample. A total of 17 students have a field-dependent (FD) cognitive style, while 15 other students have a field independent (FI) cognitive style. GEFT and mathematical problem-solving ability test instruments were used to collect research data. Data were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment correlation test and a simple regression test. The research results found that there is a strong positive relationship between cognitive style and students’ mathematical problem-solving ability, indicated by correlation coefficient r = 0,636. In addition, cognitive style has an effect on students’ mathematical problem solving ability of 40,5% through a linear relationship Ŷ = 3,703 + 0,512X.
Highlights
Hal ini dapat pula dilihat dari rata-rata skor hasil tes kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis siswa field independent (FI) yang mendapatkan rata-rata skor 10,93 lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan rata-rata skor siswa field dependent (FD), yaitu 7,26
Peningkatan Kemampuan Siswa Dalam Memecahkan Masalah Matematika Bentuk Cerita Melalui Pendekatan Scientific Terintegrasi Pada Problem Based Learning (PBL) (PTK pada Siswa Kelas VIIE Semester Genap di SMP Negeri 2 Sawit Tahun Ajaran 2014/2015)
Summary
Gaya kognitif subjek penelitian diidentifikasi menggunakan instrumen GEFT. Data gaya kognitif field dependent dan field independent yang dimiliki siswa disajikan pada Tabel 2. Dari tabel tersebut dapat dilihat bahwa sebanyak 17 (53,125%) siswa memiliki gaya kognitif FD dan 15 (46,875%) siswa memiliki gaya kognitif FI. Data kuantitatif hasil penelitian diperoleh dengan cara memeriksa hasil GEFT dan TKPMM siswa, kemudian diolah sesuai dengan rubrik penskoran yang telah ditetapkan. Analisis deskriptif data hasil penelitian disajikan secara lengkap pada Tabel 3
