Mathematical Problems

This study purpose to determine the ability of students to use Polya’s step in solving mathematical problems through Problem Based Learning. This study used a quantitative approach with a total sample, as many as 26 students of 7th grade of Junior High School 2 Kusan Hulu student. Problem Based Learning activities held in four meetings and two tests. The test results were analyzed based on the Polya’s problem solving steps, calculated with the percentage in each step. The results showed that the ability of junior high school students to use Polya’s steps in solving mathematical problem through Problem Based Learning was: 1) ability to understand problems at 83.80%, 2) ability to plan problem solving at 71.42%, and 3) ability to do counting at 75.61%.

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
