This research describes reasoning behind gender difference on problem solving. Subject of this reseach are two grade VIII students (male and female). Data in this research was analyzed using time triangulation. The reasoning based on student’s logic. Result of this study indicates that profile of reasoning junior high school students in solving math problems. For male, (1) understanding problems given, (2) linking the problems with the understanding of previously owned, (3) linking understanding possessed by the problems, and (4) conducting re-examination of the results obtained, but for female, (1) understanding the given problem, (2) planning problem solving by linking the formula that has been owned by the problems encountered, (3) implementing a plan of problem solving and reveal the reasons to use the formula, and (4) checking the solution obtained by checking the answer back.

This study is aimed to describe deductive reasoning e of Junior High School Students in solving geometry problem based on gender difference. Deductive reasoning in this study refers to general premise, specific premise, conclusion drawing. The subjects of this study are two Junior High School Students. The technique of collecting data applied in this study are task giving and interview. The result of the study would be presented as follows: (1) deductive reasoning e of the male student; at the planning phase for solving problem, subject could formulate general premise and mention the premises which were used to solve the given problem. Subject could also formulate specific premise by giving logical premise referring to general premise based given problem, and he could draw conclusion by determining the strategy firstly to solve the given problem. At the executing planning phase for solving the problem, subject could formulate general premise using premises in order to solve the given problem. Subject could also formulate specific premise by determining logical premise referring to general premise based given problem, and he could draw conclusion using general and specific premise that had been proved. (2) Deductive reasoning e of the female student; at the planning phase for solving problem, subject could formulate general premise by mentioning the premises which were used to solve the given problem. Subject could also formulate specific premise by giving logical premise referring to general premise based given problem, and he could draw conclusion by determining the strategy firstly to solve the given problem. At the executing planning phase for solving the problem, subject could formulate general premise using premises which were used to solve the given problem. Moreover, subject could not formulate specific premises and the way he drew the conclusion was contradictive to the strategy he determined at the planning phase for solving problem.

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
