MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITY IN VIEW OF LEARNING STYLES

Problem solving ability is very important in mathematics education, because problem one of the goals learning mathematics. The to solve mathematical problems influenced by various factors, including student styles. This study aims describe students' abilities terms research uses a qualitative descriptive approach. subjects used were 8 semester 1 students, 6 students taken with following details, namely 2 visual style, an audiotorial and kinesthetic style. Data collection techniques style questionnaires, tests, interviews. analysis include data reduction, presentation, drawing conclusions. results this show description problem-solving styles as follows: (1) can understand well, devise appropriate solution plan, carry out plan correctly, re-check answers that have been made. (2) auditory develop resolution plans, plans but do not stage re-checking answers. (3) able write settlement are less steps done.
