Reflection Impulsivity

This study sought to determine the relationships between the cognitive styles field dependence-independence and reflection-impulsivity and the acquisition of a gross motor skill in an unstructured learning environment. In reference to the first cognitive style construct, it was hypothesized that field-independent subjects perform better than field-dependent subjects because they provide organization when the material to be learned lacks structure, leading them to rely on their analyzing and restructuring ability. The second construct refers to cognitive inhibition required for response uncertainty tasks as well as motor impulse inhibition. Subjects (57 boys, 65 girls) were 13-year-old junior high school students. Several visual perceptual tests were administered and gymnastic performance scores were measured at pretest, during the learning session, and posttest. The hypothesis that field-independent subjects are more successful in an unstructured learning environment than field-dependent subjects was confirmed for boys only. The correlations between the reflection-impulsivity variables and gymnastic performance were generally low, and no support could be found for the hypothesis that reflective subjects are more successful in learning the skill than impulsive subjects.

Error analysis is integral part of mathematics learning. This qualitative research aims to describe the types and causes of student errors in solving combinatorics problem based on cognitive style. Subjects are high school students with field independent (FI) and field dependent (FD) cognitive style. Error analysis refers to Newman's error analysis. FI and FD students have same errors that are comprehension error at stage of understanding problem; processing skills error and encoding error at the stage of carrying out the plan. The causes of the errors are viewed from the cognitive factors, namely understanding students' concepts in solving problems. FI students have a deeper understanding and make careless error while the FD students have a lack of understanding of the concept which cause more error. The cause of errors in both students is also due to the accumulation of errors at stage of understanding problem.

Linear pattern is the primary material in learning number patterns in junior high schools, but there are still many students who fail to generalize the linear pattern. The students’ failure in generalizing the pattern occurred when the students ended to view the problems globally without breaking them into the constructors’ components such as the experience of field-dependent type students. For this reason, this study was carried out to explore the thinking process of students who fail and investigate the thinking processes of students who succeed in generalizing linear patterns. The results of this study provide an effective learning strategy solution for field-dependent students in generalizing linear patterns. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design to junior high school students. The results indicated that students in the field-dependent cognitive style looked at pattern questions represented in the form of geometric images globally without looking at the structure of the image. Two strategies for generalizing linear patterns used by field-dependent students were examined, namely recursive and different strategies.

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.

The purpose of this study was to describe the problem-solving ability of eighth-grade junior high school students in terms of cognitive style in solving two-variable linear equations. This research is a descriptive study using a qualitative approach. The subjects of this study were students of class VIII SMPN 1 Senduro, namely four students from each of two different types of cognitive styles. Collecting data using questionnaires, test methods, and interview methods. According to Polya, there are four steps in the problem-solving ability of students, namely understanding, planning, implementing, and re-checking. The results showed that students with a field-dependent cognitive style had difficulty in analyzing a problem because they could not apply the four Polya problem solving while the field independent type cognitive style was very able to apply the four problem-solving steps according to Polya, namely, understanding, planning, implementing, and doing recheck.

SummaryThe extent to which anxiety, irritability and depression were differentiated as separate entities associated with characteristic patterns of somatic and cognitive symptoms by field dependent (FD) and field independent (Fl) normal female subjects was studied with the Hidden Figures Test and Unpleasant Emotions Questionnaire. In the Fl group the correlations between the three emotions were low and non-significant, reflecting a clear-cut differentiation in symptom configuration, as shown by psychiatrists. In the FD group the inter-correlations were significant and positive, corresponding to relatively poor symptom differentiation, comparable to that of a psychiatric patient group. This suggests that the cognitive style variable of field dependence may underly differences in symptom differentiation associated with psychiatrist/patient differences and, more generally, with social class and sex differences.

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
