The study aims at examining the characteristics of open ended problem solving based on student cognitive styles, namely field independent and field dependent. The study was descriptive qualitative started by determining research subject using group embedded figure test (GEFT) to group students based on their cognitive and the result of GEFT, the reasearcher choose 6 subjects from 19 students of drade IX at SMPN 1 Ma�rang consisted of three subjects of field independent and three of field dependent. Afterwards, the researcher gave open ended problem solving test on algebra and geometry mate rials, and conducted interview. Data validity of the study employed triangulation technique. The results of the study reveal tha the steps and strategy of open ended problem solving of field independent subject and field dependent subject: (1) in the steps of open ended problem solving, field independent subjects overall were able to understand the problem, plan the solution, and conduct the plan up to recheck it. One of field independent subject even was able to draw conclusion form one of the problems given which was the algebra 2 problem. In contrast, the field dependent subjects overall had steps of open ended problem solving that only able to understand and recheck it, (2) in problem solving strategy, there was no difference between field independent subjects and field dependent subjects. The field independent subjects used open ended problem solving strategy by thinking backward, thinking inductively, and thinking forward. Similarly, the field dependent subjects also used open ended problem solving by thinking backward, thinking inductively, and thinking forward

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.

Correction in writing process is beneficial to improve students’ writing quality. However, different kinds of correction may affect students’ writing quality differently. Furthermore, depending on their cognitive style, students may receive correction differently. This research aims at investigating the effect of peer correction on writing quality of college students’ having different cognitive styles. Two groups of students participated in this study. In the treatment, one group conducted peer correction, and the other group conducted self correction on their writings. To collect the data on students’ cognitive styles, Group Embedded Figure Test (GEFT) was used. To collect the data on students’ writing quality before and after the treatment, writing tests were used. To test the hypotheses, an analysis of covariate (ANCOVA) was used. The results shows that both types of corrections, peer and self corrections, and students’ cognitive styles, field dependent and field independent, significantly affects the students’ writing quality. However, it seems to be no significant interaction between types of corrections and students’ cognitive styles. The types of correction and cognitive styles do not affect students’ writing quality at the same time.

[English]: This study aims to examine and compare students’ level of statistical thinking with different cognitive styles (Field-dependent, FD and Field-independent, FI) in solving mathematical problems. It is descriptive qualitative research involving 31 ninth-graders given the Group Embedded Figure Test (GEFT) to determine their cognitive styles. From the results of GEFT, four students with two cognitive styles and high mathematics ability were selected as participants. A test and interviews were administered for data collection. The test was analyzed based on the level of statistical thinking indicators, and the interview results were used to confirm and explore the students' statistical thinking. The results of data analysis revealed that in representing data, both FI and FD students are at transitional level. In other stages of statistical thinking: describing data display, organizing and reducing data, analyzing and interpreting data, FD students reach a quantitative level meanwhile FI students are at an analytical level. Indeed, students with FI cognitive style have a higher level of statistical thinking than FD students. This finding shows that characteristics of students with FI, for example, being more analytic, support the achievement of better levels of statistical thinking. [Bahasa]: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dan membandingkan level berpikir statistik siswa dengan gaya kognitif berbeda (Field-dependent, FD dan Field-independent, FI) dalam memecahkan masalah matematika. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif deskriptif yang melibatkan 31 siswa kelas 9. Siswa tersebut diberikan Group Embedded Figure Test (GEFT) untuk menentukan gaya kognitif. Selanjutnya, dipilih 4 siswa pada kedua gaya kognitif dengan kemampuan matematika tinggi. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes dan wawancara. Hasil tes dianalisis berdasarkan indikator level berpikir statistik dan hasil wawancara dianalisis untuk mengonfirmasi dan menggali lebih dalam berpikir statistik siswa. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa dalam menyajikan data, siswa FD dan FI berada pada level transisional. Pada tiga tahap berpikir statistik lain; menjelaskan sajian data, mengatur dan mengurangi data, menganalisis dan menerjemahkan data, siswa FD berada pada level kuantitatif sedangkan siswa FI berada pada level analitik. Dalam hal ini, siswa dengan gaya kognitif FI memiliki level berpikir statistik yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan siswa FD. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa karakteristik siswa dengan gaya kognitif FI, misalnya cenderung lebih analitis dibandingkan FD, mendukung capaian level berpikir statistik yang lebih baik.

There is a strong relationship between field-dependent (FD), field-independent (FI) cognitive styles, and problem-solving performance. FD students are more oriented towards the outside world, while FI students rely more on their knowledge and experience. The present study aimed to reveal the position of the FI and FD student's errors in algebraic problem-solving. The subjects of this study were 27 students of class VII in one of the Junior High Schools in Kefamenanu, Indonesia, Academic Year 2018/2019. Data collection involved tests of algebraic problem-solving ability, interviews, and Group Embedded Figure Test. The case study results showed that the algebraic problem-solving abilities of FI students were better than FD students. The scores of algebraic problem-solving abilities of FI students were dominant in the medium and high categories. In contrast, the FD students were dominant in the medium and low categories. Also, FI students predominantly committed procedural errors. Whereas, most FD students made errors on all types of errors, specifically factual, conceptual, and procedural errors. Thus, it is recommended that FI and FD students' algebraic problem-solving ability become the focus of attention and importance to characterize them as a basis for further research.
