Abstract

This research aims to: (1) describe the concept understanding of the 8th grade students at State Middle School 1 of Bima on geometry subject that has independent field cognitive style, (2) Describe the concept understanding of the 8th grade students at State Middle School 1 of Bima on geometry subject that has dependent field cognitive style. Researchers used a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study research design. The population in this study were all 8th grade students at State Middle School 1 of Bima. The determination of the sample in this study used a purposive sampling technique. The process of data analysis in this study began with transcribing the interview data, examining the data available from the research subjects and compiling them in units which were further categorized based on criteria. The results of this study indicate: (1) Understanding the Students’ Concept of Field Dependent Type (FD), students with FD cognitive style in general are only able to meet the indicators of understanding the proposed problems. As for the indicators, classifying objects according to certain properties, restating a concept, using and choosing a particular procedure or operator, and conveying the results have not been met in the first, second, third and fourth question. (2) Understanding the Students’ Concept of Field Independent Type (FI), all students with FI cognitive style have been able to meet all the indicators.
