Abstract

The study aims to determine the differences in field-independent cognitive styles with a dependent on students' mathematical problem solving abilities. This researcher uses a quantitative approach with a correlational survey method with factual exposure research types. The study population was the seventh grade students of Madrasah Tsanawiyah in Lombok Timur, amounting to 680. The sampling used was simple random sampling technique. The sampling technique uses percentage techniques. From a population of 680 people taken 10%, so the number of samples in this study was 68 people. The hypothesis analysis test used the t test with SPSS 22. The results showed that there was a difference between students' mathematical problem solving abilities in the group of students who had a field independent cognitive style and a group of students who had a field dependent cognitive style. the principal in recruiting students to enter the Madrasah Tsnawiyah, not only the value of the results of the National Primary School exam but rather the grouping of students based on independent and field dependent cognitive field styles

  • The purpose of mathematics learning consists based on NCTM of: 1) Problem Solving, 2) Reasoning and Proof, 3) Communication, 4) Connections, 5) Representation (Mauleto, 2019)

  • The same research results were done by Prabawa & Zaenuri (2017) that problem solving ability students with the cognitive style of Field Independent (FI) tend to have better problem-solving skills than students with a Field Dependent (FD) cognitive style

  • At equal variance assumed t value obtained is 3.183 and significance level p = 0.002. These results indicate that p

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of mathematics learning consists based on NCTM of: 1) Problem Solving, 2) Reasoning and Proof, 3) Communication, 4) Connections, 5) Representation (Mauleto, 2019). The same research results were done by Prabawa & Zaenuri (2017) that problem solving ability students with the cognitive style of Field Independent (FI) tend to have better problem-solving skills than students with a Field Dependent (FD) cognitive style. While another study conducted Nurmutia (2019) showed a strong positive relationship between cognitive style and mathematical problem solving skills. This research aims to describe the influence of field dependent cognitive style and independent of the mathematical problem solving skills of students of Madrasah Tsanawiyah class VII in East Lombok. Anova is carried out by looking at the hypothesis criteria: Ho: There is no influence of cognitive style on the ability to solve mathematical problems of Madrasah. Ha: And the influence of cognitive style on mathematical problem-solving abilities of Madrasah Tsanawiyah students
