The effect of cognitive style on the performance of four groups who used different strategies of study to comprehend prose was investigated. Performance on Group Embedded Figures Test was used to classify subjects into groups by cognitive style. 201 field-dependent and 125 field-independent subjects enrolled in an introductory course in psychology were subjects. Field-independent subjects performed significantly better overall. In particular, field-independent subjects in the control group and the groups given factual and inferential questions as study aids performed better than the field-dependent subjects on the inferential items at posttest. On the factual items at posttest, field-independent subjects performed significantly better only in the group who were given inferential questions as an adjunct. The cognitive styles of the subjects interacted with the strategies of study and seem to affect performance on comprehension of prose at posttest.

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.

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.

Students’ creativity and self-efficacy in solving mathematical problems remain low. Students with Field Dependent (FD) and Field Independent (FI) cognitive styleshave different creativity and self-efficacy. One learning model that is believed to increase students' creativity and self-efficacyis Problem Based Learning (PBL) model. This study aimed to increase the creativity and self-efficacyof FD and FI students through the application of PBLmodel. This research is an experimental study with pre-test and post-test control group design.The population of this research was grade VIII students in State Islamic School (MTsN) 1 Banda Aceh,while the sample consisted of two classes out of 11 classes. The sampling technique usedrandom samplingwith one experimental class and one control class. Data collection was carried out by using two instruments; a paper-test to measure students’ creativity and a questionnaire to measure students’self-efficacy. The grouping of FD and FI students was based on the results of the Group Embedded Figure Test (GEFT). Furthermore, a paired t-test was conducted to obtain an increase in students' creativity and self-efficacy. At the same time, a correlation test was performed to see the relationship between creativity and the self-efficacy ofstudents. The results of the study revealed that the increase of FD and FI students’ creativity who were taught by the PBL model was better than students taught by conventional methods. The results also reported that the increase of FD and FI students’ self-efficacy who were taught with the PBL model was better than the students who were taught with conventional methods. In addition, there was a significant relationship between FI and FD students' creativity and self-efficacy.

The survey is dedicated to the identification of cognitive barriers in educational and professional activities among students with field-dependent and field-independent styles of cognitive activity. For these purposes, we used the principle of taxonomy proposed by B. Bloom (“the taxonomy of the levels of knowledge of Benjamin Blum”), as well as the “Gottschaldt figures” technique. The results show that the cognitive style is a factor influencing the level of cognitive difficulties.

To assess the impact of instructional color coding on visually and verbally oriented tests and on field-dependent-independent subjects, undergraduate college students (119) were randomly assigned to two treatment groups (color—black and white). These subjects received their respective treatment and received four dependent measures measuring four different types of educational objectives. Results indicated that the subject's level of field dependence is an important instructional variable and that color coding is an effective variable for maximizing information acquisition levels for field dependent over oriented subjects.

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.
