Problem-solving in creative thinking process mathematics student's based on their cognitive style

Abstract

Problem solving plays an important role in mathematics that is to understand students' difficulties in math skills. This study aims to reveal students' mathematical problem solving profiles based on their cognitive style in their creative thinking process. As a result of this study, students who have Field Independent cognitive style are able to solve the mathematical problems given so as to belong to the process of creative thinking level 4. Students who have Field Dependent cognitive style are generally confined to math problems that can be solved to include creative thinking process level 0 (not creative). In this study, it is seen how the solution of mathematical problem-solving based on their cognitive style influences the creative thinking process.
