Previous investigations of the effects of field dependence-independence or the level of operational development on the mathematics achievement of children in the lower elementary school grades have involved the administration of concrete operational tasks (e.g., classification, conservation, and seriation). The present study was designed to examine the influence of these factors on the mathematics achievement of sixth, seventh, and eighth graders by using formal operational tasks (i.e., combinations, propositional logic, and proportionality). Results were analyzed using total mathematics achievement test scores as well as scores on subtests of computation, concepts, and problem solving. Field-independent students scored significantly higher than field-dependent students on the total mathematics, concepts, and problem-solving tests. High-operational students scored significantly higher than their low-operational peers on all tests. Educational implications of the findings are discussed.

This study is a qualitative literature review aimed to describe junior high school students’ metacognitive process in mathematical problem solving based on field independent and field dependent cognitive style. The research was done based on these following steps: 1) Data library relevant to variable and in accordance to the data source criteria was collected; 2) the data library was classified according to the grade and the subjects; 3) the data was analyzed. The instruments used in this study were the researchers and interview. The interview was conducted to confirm the classified data. Based e this study, it can be concluded that students using field independent style, competently can employ metacognitive process in planning, monitoring, and evaluating because they can write down the known fact and the question using mathematical symbol, choose the appropriate strategy, and answer the question thoroughly. Students using field dependent style were having difficulties in writing down the known fact and the question using mathematical symbol, choosing an appropriate strategy, and answering the question thoroughly.

This study aims to describe and analyze students' mathematical problem solving abilities based on theory of APOS (Action, Peocess, Object, Schema) in terms of Field Dependent and Field Independent Cognitive Style. It is descriptive research with qualitative approach. The research subjects are 34 students in class XI MIPA 1 SMA Nurul Islam Jember, they are grouped on cognitive style, they are 24 students having field independent cognitive style and 10 students having field dependent cognitive style. The method of data collection use a GEFT (Group Embedded Figure Test), test of problem solving abilities, , and interviews. The results of the data analysis of the problem solving ability test and interviews showed that at the action stage, students with the independent field cognitive style (FI) tended to be able to explain the meaning and information on the questions even though they did not write down what they knew. Students with the field dependent cognitive style (FD) tend to be able to write down the information contained in the questions, but have difficulty explaining the meaning of the questions. At the process stage, FI and FD students are able to model and explain the stages well, but FD still has errors in the resulting mathematical model. At the object stage, FI students tend to work on questions freely, while FD students tend to work on questions in detail or are fixated on completely arranged steps, FD students also have difficulty in explaining back the results of their work. At the schema stage, FI and FD students tend to be able to explain how to use the information contained at the object stage to be used at the schema stage. In general, students with a field independent cognitive style in solving mathematical problems tend to be free or not fixated on complete and detailed steps, and have an analytical nature, so they are able to sort out the important information contained in the questions. Students with a field dependent cognitive style in solving math problems tend to be bound or fixated with steps that are arranged in a complete and detailed manner. Keywords: mathematics problem solving, APOS theory, cognitive style

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan semiotika siswa operasional formal dengan gaya kognitif berbeda dalam pemecahan masalah pemrograman linear. Subjek penelitian ini adalah satu siswa bergaya kognitif field-dependent (SFD) dan satu siswa bergaya kognitif field-independent (SFI). Data penelitian ini dikumpulkan melalui pemberian tugas pemecahan masalah pemrograman linear dan wawancara semi-terstruktur berbasis tugas. Proses analisis jawaban siswa dalam pemecahan masalah pemrograman linear berdasarkan indikator semiotika yang meliputi simbol, kode, dan makna serta tahapan pemecahan masalah Polya. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa semiotika yang dilakukan kedua siswa operasional formal dengan gaya kognitif berbeda ini dalam memecahkan masalah pemrograman linear belum menciptakan informasi yang bermakna karena pada penggunaan simbol, pembuatan kode, dan pembuatan makna tidak dilakukan secara lengkap.

The study aims at examining the characteristics of open ended problem solving based on student cognitive styles, namely field independent and field dependent. The study was descriptive qualitative started by determining research subject using group embedded figure test (GEFT) to group students based on their cognitive and the result of GEFT, the reasearcher choose 6 subjects from 19 students of drade IX at SMPN 1 Ma�rang consisted of three subjects of field independent and three of field dependent. Afterwards, the researcher gave open ended problem solving test on algebra and geometry mate rials, and conducted interview. Data validity of the study employed triangulation technique. The results of the study reveal tha the steps and strategy of open ended problem solving of field independent subject and field dependent subject: (1) in the steps of open ended problem solving, field independent subjects overall were able to understand the problem, plan the solution, and conduct the plan up to recheck it. One of field independent subject even was able to draw conclusion form one of the problems given which was the algebra 2 problem. In contrast, the field dependent subjects overall had steps of open ended problem solving that only able to understand and recheck it, (2) in problem solving strategy, there was no difference between field independent subjects and field dependent subjects. The field independent subjects used open ended problem solving strategy by thinking backward, thinking inductively, and thinking forward. Similarly, the field dependent subjects also used open ended problem solving by thinking backward, thinking inductively, and thinking forward

Based on the experience of the researchers taught the subject of Economic Mathematics many students who have not been able to solve the problem solving. One alternative that can be used to solve the problem is by using Polya steps. When solving a mathematical problem, each student has a different way of thinking. The difference is possible because of differences in student cognitive style. The cognitive styles used in this research are Field Independent cognitive style and Field Dependent cognitive style. The material chosen in this research is the demand function, the Bid Function, the Savings Function and the Taxation Function. This research is a descriptive research with qualitative approach which aims to describe the problem solving ability of student mathematics using Polya steps in terms of cognitive style of FI and FD. Subjects in this research are students of VI semester of Mathematics Education Program. Technique of taking research subject is by purposive sample. The results showed that FI subject understood the problem well. In the planning step, the FI subject can analyze the information received. Subjects use previously learned information and solve problem-solving given to the problem as planned and check back on each question. The subject of FD can not receive information and understand the problems that exist in the problem and can not process information/do not understand the purpose of the problem. In the planning step, the subject of FD is unable to think how to solve the problem and is not accustomed to rechecking

The aim of this research is to describe junior high school students’ problem solving profile in the Pythagoras Theorem problem based on the cognitive styles of FI and FD. The subjects of this research consisting of two subjects FI and two subjects FD in VIII H SMP Negeri 2 Lumajang. Instruments used: cognitive style tests (GEFT), Pythagoras Theorem problem solving tests, and interview guideline. Problem-solving indicators that be used is Polya's problem solving steps: understanding the problem, devise a plan, carry out the plan, and looking back. The results of this study is the FI subject is better than the FD subject. The FI subject understand the problem very well, arranging a solution plan well, implementing a plan properly, and looking back well. Different from previous research, subject FI make error even though not any Polya’s step. Nevertheless, The FD subjects are categorized as lacking in the step of understanding the problem, devising a plan with deficient category, implementing the plan without looking back on the solution, so it is categorized as lacking and errors emerged at almost every step. Some errors in problem solving showed by FI and FD subjects, so for further research need to analyses errors and the other cognitive style.
