The present study focuses on making the students aware about various environmental issues by using case studies. The ability of students to reveal their findings about environmental issues has been developed through scientific literature, one of which was writing scientific articles. Each student has a different thinking style or cognitive style, so the possibilities in terms of scientific writing can be different. A cognitive style is shown in individuals receiving, processing and organizing information, and presenting the information based on the experiences they have had. This study aimed to describe the ability of the students who have a reflective or impulsive cognitive style to write a scientific article as a result of employing case studies on environmental issues. To achieve these objectives, the research involved the students of biology education UNIROW Tuban class of 2011. The ability to write scientific articles was analysed descriptively and included: title, credit lines, abstract, introduction, methods, results and discussion, conclusions and bibliography. To measure the reflective vs impulsive cognitive styles, the study used the MFFT (Matching Familiar Figure Test) instrument which was designed and developed by Warli (2010). The results showed that the ability of students who had a reflective cognitive style to write scientific articles tended to follow the rules, except when they were writing a bibliography. Therefore, there was a difference between students who write with a reflective cognitive style and students who write with an impulsive cognitive style in terms of their ability to write a scientific article as the result of case studies about environmental issues.

Abstrak — Kemampuan berpikir kritis adalah kecakapan memecahkan masalah yang dilakukan seseorang secara sistematis dan reflektif dalam mengolah informasi yang diperoleh ketika dihadapkan pada suatu masalah. Melalui berpikir kritis, siswa dapat mengambil keputusan secara tepat untuk memecahkan masalah tersebut. Akan tetapi dalam pembelajaran matematika, kemampuan berpikir kritis kurang mendapat perhatian karena seringkali siswa mendapatkan soal yang dalam proses mengerjakannya menggunakan prosedur rutin. Selain itu, juga perlu memperhatikan gaya kognitif siswa karena setiap siswa memiliki karateristik yang berbeda dalam waktu yang diperlukan untuk menjawab soal dan kesalahan jawaban yang dihasilkan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif, yang bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa SMP yang bergaya kognitif reflektif, impulsif, fast accurate, dan slow inaccurate dalam memecahkan masalah matematika. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa SMP kelas VIII yang bergaya kognitif reflektif, impulsif, fast accurate, dan slow inaccurate masing-masing sebanyak 1 siswa. Teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan tes gaya kognitif MFFT (matching familiar figure test), tes kemampuan matematika, tes pemecahan masalah matematika, dan wawancara. Teknik analisis data berdasarkan indikator kemampuan berpikir kritis yang meliputi klarifikasi, asesmen, inferensi, dan strategi pada setiap langkah pemecahan masalah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa, siswa bergaya kognitif reflektif mampu melakukan klarifikasi, asesmen, dan inferensi. Siswa bergaya kognitif impulsif mampu melakukan strategi. Siswa bergaya kognitif fast accurate tidak mampu melakukan klarifikasi, asesmen, inferensi, dan strategi. Siswa bergaya kognitif slow inaccurate mampu melakukan asesmen.Kata kunci: Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis, Memecahkan Masalah, Gaya Kognitif Abstract — Critical thinking abilities is the ability to solve problems by someone systematically and reflectively in processing information obtained when faced with a problem. Through critical thinking, students can make appropriate decisions to solve these problems. However, in learning mathematics, critical thinking abilities receive less attention because students often get questions that in solved by using routine procedures. In addition to paying attention the critical thinking abilities, it is also necessary to pay attention to students' cognitive styles because each student has different characteristics in the time needed to answer questions and the resulting answer errors. This research is a qualitative descriptive study, which aims to describe the critical thinking abilities of junior high school students who have reflective, impulsive, fast accurate, and slow inaccurate cognitive styles in solving mathematical problems. The subjects in this study were eighth-grade junior high school students who had reflective, impulsive, fast accurate, and slow inaccurate cognitive styles of 1 student each. Data collection techniques in this study used the MFFT cognitive style test (matching familiar figure test), mathematics ability test, mathematical problems solving test and interviews. Data analysis techniques are based on indicators of critical thinking abilities that include clarification, assessment, inference, and strategy at each step of problems solving. The results showed that reflective cognitive style students were able to clarification, assessment, and inference. Impulsive cognitive style students can do the strategy. Fast accurate cognitive style students are not able to clarification, assessment, inference, and strategy. Slow inaccurate cognitive style students can do assessment.Keywords: Critical Thinking Abilities, Problem Solving, Cognitive Style

Determination of the relationship between individuals’ cognitive styles and cognitive structure outcomes was the main aim of this study. Sixty-six participants were enrolled in the study and their cognitive styles were determined by using the Hidden Figure Test (for their field dependent/independent dimension of cognitive style) and the Convergent/Divergent Test (for their convergence/divergence dimension of cognitive style). An open-ended questionnaire was formed in order to determine participants’ cognitive structure outcomes. The study topic was chosen as chemical kinetics since it is one of the most difficult topics in chemistry according to many students and also there is limited study in the literature on this topic. Key concepts about chemical kinetics were selected and given to the participants and they were asked to write a text by using the given concepts. A flow map technique was used to reveal participants’ cognitive structure outcomes. According to the findings of this study, it can be said that field independent participants tended to be divergent thinkers while field dependents tended to be convergent thinkers. Also, strong positive relationships between participants’ field dependency/independency and some cognitive structure outcomes (extent and richness) were found. That is, field independents tended to have more extended and richer cognitive structure outcomes. However, the convergence/divergence dimension of cognitive style did not show any correlation with cognitive structure outcomes.

Different individuals approach mathematical problems in a variety of ways, with these different approaches also reflected in over-all cognitive styles. This investigation had two purposes, first, to determine whether good and poor arithmetic problem solvers differ substantially in cognitive style, and second, to determine whether the students, after training in techniques of solving arithmetic problems, improve their performance with no significant change in cognitive style. A total of 98 third graders participated (mean age 8.1 yr.; 50 boys, 48 girls). The Matching Familiar Figure Test was used to classify the students by cognitive style as either Reflective or Impulsive. Students also were given training with different problem-solving exercises for different arithmetic problems. The training program in problem-solving strategies did not improve performance on arithmetic problems for Reflective students; however, Impulsive students' performance did improve after training.

The objective of this study was to find out whether there is any correlation between cognitive style and student’s reading comprehension. The researcher limited the cognitive style in this study in Field Dependence and Field Independence. For example, students with Field dependence tend to have low reading comprehension because they difficult to construct their own perception and to find the information that not exactly written in the text.  The research design was correlational research. The population of this research was 271 students of Eleventh Grade of SMAN 3 Batam in the Academic Year 2015/2016. The population was selected simple random sampling technique. Embedded Figure Test (EFT) and Reading comprehension test were used as the instrument of this research. Then the researcher analyzed the correlation by using Spearman Ranked Correlation formula to correlate both cognitive style (variable X) and students reading comprehension (variable Y). The result showed that Zcountedis 5.157 and Ztableis 1.96. It means Zcountedis greater than Ztableand Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. The researcher found out that there was a significant correlation between cognitive style and student’s Reading Comprehension at Eleventh Grade of SMAN 3 Batam in the Academic Year 2015/2016.Keywords : cognitive style, field dependence, field independence and reading comprehension.
