Abstract Collaborative problem solving can be successful or counterproductive. The performance of collaborative teams depends not only on team members’ abilities, but also on their cognitive styles. Cognitive style measures differences in problem-solving behavior: how people generate solutions, manage structure, and interact. While teamwork and problem solving have been studied separately, their interactions are less understood. This paper introduces the KAI Agent-Based Organizational Optimization Model (KABOOM), the first model to simulate cognitive style in collaborative problem solving. KABOOM simulates the performance of teams of agents with heterogeneous cognitive styles on two contextualized design problems. Results demonstrate that, depending on the problem, certain cognitive styles may be more effective than others. Also, intentionally aligning agents’ cognitive styles with their roles can improve team performance. These experiments demonstrate that KABOOM is a useful tool for studying the effects of cognitive style on collaborative problem solving.

This thesis describes the development of an agent-based model for simulating cognitive style in the context of collaborative problem solving. Cognitive style describes the diverse ways in which people solve problems. Individuals’ cognitive styles can impact the success or failure of a design team. However, the effects of cognitive style in collaborative problem solving are not well understood. To address this gap, this thesis presents KABOOM (KAI Agent-Based Organizational Optimization Model), the first agent-based model of teamwork to incorporate cognitive style. In this thesis, experiments using KABOOM investigate the interacting effects of a design team’s communication patterns, specialization, and cognitive style composition on a team’s performance. Testing the model with a race car design problem reveals that teams can strategically leverage diversity of cognitive style to improve performance. By simulating cognitive style and team problem solving, KABOOM lays the groundwork for the development of team simulations that reflect humans’ diverse problem-solving styles.

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 research is to compare the effectiveness of learning models to develop student critical thinking skills and retention in mathematics through the application of Problem Based Learning (PBL) models and multimedia assisted Direct Instruction (DI) models for students who have different cognitive styles. This research is quasi-experimental type, using non-equivalent control group design. Subject of this research are students in three different senior high school with two class samples in each school. There are 102 students of control class with Direct Instruction learning model by multimedia and 97 students of experiment class with Problem Based Learning model. The instrument of this research are test and questionnaires. The findings of this research are that there are significant differences in student critical thinking skills and retention between groups of student with Field Dependent (FD) and Field Independent (FI) cognitive styles and also between group of student with Direct Instruction model and Problem Based Learning model. Each learning model has interaction with critical thinking skills but not student retention. This research is useful for educators to develop students critical thinking skills processes with an effective learning model approach especially for senior high school students. The educators can know the interaction of cognitive styles with student retention, the extent to which cognitive styles are able to have an impact on student retention. This research provides knowledge an effective learning model to develop critical thinking skills and retention of student both Field Dependent and Field Independent cognitive style. Based on cognitive style, Field Independent students have higher retention and critical thinking skills compared to Field Dependent students.

One of thinking concepts which connects real life to mathematics is called metaphorical thinking. Metaphor and modelling are two closely related concepts. Besides, each individual performs different cognitive styles, such as field independent (FI) and field dependent (FD) cognitive styles. This factor possibly leads to different metaphorical thinking in solving algebraic problems. The participants of this qualitative research consist of two students at grade 7 of one of junior high school in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, with FI and FD as their cognitive styles. Based on the findings, it is found that: 1) Metaphorical thinking of the student with FI cognitive style in solving the algebraic problem in the stage of understanding the problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan, and looking back is considered to achieve the target for each criteria of CREATE; 2) Metaphorical thinking of the student with FD cognitive style in solving the problem in the all four stages but could not reveal all criteria mentioned in CREATE. This happens as the student is unable to find the appropriate metaphor to the algebraic problem. Therefore, the student does not need to explain the suitability of the metaphor to the algebraic problem.
