The main target of the current study is to explain the metacognition of junior high school students with Field Independent (FI) and Field Dependent (FD) cognitive styles in mathematics problem-solving. It should be noted that the statistical population of this study was all junior high school students in the Sragen regency in the 2018/2019 academic year. To reach the research purpose, different instruments such as the cognitive style tests, the problem-solving exercises, and the interview guidance were used. Data analysis was carried out by data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results indicated that the students who have field-independent cognitive style had high self-confidence that they were able to solve the problem correctly, able to do planning steps, able to make important decisions for themselves, so they can solve the problem properly. Students with FD cognitive style are completely confident that their answer is correct, but they have not yet clarified the steps they need to solve their problems and have not yet focused on their shortcomings in mathematics problem solving, so their task results in mathematics problem-solving incorrectness answer.   Keywords: Cognitive style; Mathematics problem solving; Metacognition

Back Stage

One of the goals of learning mathematics is students can solve the problems. PISA problems can be used to bring up the problem solving activities. Keirsey's personality type is chosen because it offers possibility on differences in each personality type. It is based on the characteristics in taking and processing information, making decisions, and patterning the implementation of their tasks. The aim of this research is describing the profile of junior high school students about PISA problem solving based on personality type. This research is a qualitative descriptive research using test and interview methods. The subjects consist of four students, which are guardian, artisan, rational, and idealist. The results showed that on the understanding the problem stage, all students read the questions and were capable in identifying the information in the question. Then represented what is known and unknown. At the devising a plan stage, the four subjects were able to link the information that was known with prior knowledge to make a plan. At the carrying out the plan stage, the four subjects used the appropriate knowledge to implement the settlement plan that has been made. At the looking back stage, all the students examine their solutions.Keywords: problem solving, PISA questions, personality type

Physics Problems

This research is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach, which aims to describe the ability of junior high school students to solve physics problems in various forms of problem representation. The subjects in this study were the IX grade junior high school students in six Palu city schools. Respondents for interviews in the study amounted to 4 people for each form of problem representation, with the criteria of students who answered right, students who answered ± 50% correct, students who answered incorrectly, and who did not answer. The instrument used was a test of problem solving skills and interviews. The data obtained were analyzed qualitatively including data reduction, presenting data and verification while descriptive analysis was performed by calculating the total score, calculating the percentage and categorizing problem solving abilities. The results obtained by the average ability of junior high school students to solve physics problems in various forms of problem representation 21.86% (less category), with the percentage of each form of representation ie verbal representation 36.09% (less category), image/picture representation 23.78% (less category), diagram representation 19.47% (poor category) and graphic representation 8.10% (poor category).
