Statistical thinking is a mental activity that occurs from the process of identifying statistical information to the process of making decisions or drawing conclusions that are interconnected. One that can effect individual statistical thinking profiles is cognitive style. The purpose of this research is to describe the statistical thinking profile of Field Independent and Field Dependent high school student in solving problems. This research is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. The instruments of this research are the researcher as the main instrument and cognitive style test, mathematics ability test, and interview guidelines as the supporting instruments. Research subjects are one of FI student and one of FD student with an equivalent level of high mathematical ability. The results of this study indicate differences in the profile of FI student an FD student statistical thinking. In evaluating the effectiveness of the data display, FI student can provide analytical argument about the presentation of data display that more effectively used and FD student provide answers for the presentation of effective data displays based on what is seen from the question. In describing the results of the available problems and making conclusions from the results that have been obtained, FI student describes the solutions in more detail accompanied by the arguments also provide conclusions related to the existing problems and FD student briefly describes the solutions and provide general conclusions and have not been linked to the existing problems. Because of the statistical ability of two subjects is defferent, teacher should pay attention to the statistical concepts and train students on solving statistical problems by any solutions. Keywords : Statistical thinking profile, problem solving, Field Independent, Field Dependent

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.

This study aims to describe and analyze students' mathematical problem solving abilities based on theory of APOS (Action, Peocess, Object, Schema) in terms of Field Dependent and Field Independent Cognitive Style. It is descriptive research with qualitative approach. The research subjects are 34 students in class XI MIPA 1 SMA Nurul Islam Jember, they are grouped on cognitive style, they are 24 students having field independent cognitive style and 10 students having field dependent cognitive style. The method of data collection use a GEFT (Group Embedded Figure Test), test of problem solving abilities, , and interviews. The results of the data analysis of the problem solving ability test and interviews showed that at the action stage, students with the independent field cognitive style (FI) tended to be able to explain the meaning and information on the questions even though they did not write down what they knew. Students with the field dependent cognitive style (FD) tend to be able to write down the information contained in the questions, but have difficulty explaining the meaning of the questions. At the process stage, FI and FD students are able to model and explain the stages well, but FD still has errors in the resulting mathematical model. At the object stage, FI students tend to work on questions freely, while FD students tend to work on questions in detail or are fixated on completely arranged steps, FD students also have difficulty in explaining back the results of their work. At the schema stage, FI and FD students tend to be able to explain how to use the information contained at the object stage to be used at the schema stage. In general, students with a field independent cognitive style in solving mathematical problems tend to be free or not fixated on complete and detailed steps, and have an analytical nature, so they are able to sort out the important information contained in the questions. Students with a field dependent cognitive style in solving math problems tend to be bound or fixated with steps that are arranged in a complete and detailed manner. Keywords: mathematics problem solving, APOS theory, cognitive style

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

Problem solving must be developed and internalized in mathematics<br />learning, so students have problem solving skills that students can<br />transfer to their daily lives when facing problems or difficulties.<br />There is a mental attitude that affects a person's success to become a<br />successful problem solver, namely adversity quotient. This mental<br />attitude affects the mindset and emotions so it is not easy to give up<br />in solving problems. This study aims to measure the relationship<br />between adversity quotient and problem solving abilities of junior<br />high school students in mathematics learning. This research is a<br />correlation study. The population was students of SMPN 1 Padang<br />Panjang 2014/2015 academic year, while 32 samples were selected<br />by purposive sampling. The data was collected using an adversity<br />quotient scale and a mathematical problem solving ability test. Data<br />were analyzed by regression correlation techniques. The results of<br />data analysis showed a correlation coefficient between adversity<br />quotient variables with mathematical problem solving abilities of r =<br />0.756&gt; rtable (0.297), meaning that there was a significant positive<br />relationship between adversity quotient and mathematical problem<br />solving abilities. The coefficient of determination obtained is r2 =<br />0.572 indicating that adversity quotient has an effect of 57.2% on<br />mathematical problem solving abilities of junior high school<br />students, while 42.8% is influenced by other factors

Problem-solving ability is a characteristic of mathematical activities and a major ability in developing mathematical understanding. Mathematical problem-solving ability can be seen from several dimensions, one of which is cognitive style. Cognitive style is a unique way for each individual to acquire, process, store, use the information to respond to tasks or situations, and build knowledge. FD and FI cognitive styles are one type of cognitive style that are categorized by general ways of thinking, solving problems, learning, and dealing with other people so that they have a relationship with problem-solving abilities. The subjects in this study involved 72 students (around the age of 13-14 years), namely 33 students with FD cognitive style and 39 students with FI cognitive style. The problem-solving ability test instrument in this study was a mathematical problem-solving ability test that had been validated by experts and tested for reliability. The cognitive style test instrument is the Group Embedded Figure Test (GEFT) item developed by Witkin. The problem-solving ability of junior high school students with FI cognitive style is better than FD students even though the difference is not much different.

Understanding of the concept is needed in studying mathematics, including the topic of the Three Variable Linear Equation System (SPLTV). In fact, there are still many students who don't understand the basic concepts well. The research subjects were students in grade 10 high school, each consisting of one student with field independent and field dependent cognitive style. The research instrument which were used consisted of a concept understanding test and interview guidelines. Data analysis was done through data reduction procedures, data exposure, and making conclusions. The resulting research showed that the field independent students understanding to the concept of SPLTV, namely students stated that the meaning of SPLTV used their own language without being stuck with the notation from SPLTV and students gave examples and non-examples of SPLTV. In addition, in solving problems students are able to use the SPLTV concept well. As the results of the research, the students' understanding of field dependent on the concept of SPLTV is that students explained that the notion of SPLTV was still stuck with the notation of the existing SPLTV and students give examples and non-examples of SPLTV. Moreover, in solving problems, students are less able to use the SPLTV concept well.
