The comparison of learning model viewed from the student cognitive style

Abstract

The aim of this research is to find out the effect of learning model, cognitive style and the interaction between learning model and cognitive style toward mathematics achievement. This research was quasi experimental research with factorial design 2 x 2. The population of research was all students of the eight grader of junior high school in Karanganyar Regency in academic year 2016/2017. The sample of research consist of 279 students. The data in the research was two ways analysis of variance with unequal cells, with the 5% level of significance. The results of the research were as follow:. (1) TTW Learning model gave better mathematics achievement than direct instruction model:. (2) Students who have field independent cognitive style have better mathematics achievement than student who have the field dependent cognitive style:. (3) In each type of learning model, students who have field independent cognitive style have better mathematics achievement than students who have the field dependent cognitive style:, (4) In each category of cognitive style, students whom taught using learning model TTW gave better mathematics achievement than direct instruction model.
