Students' Analogical Reasoning in Solving Trigonometric Problems in Terms of Cognitive Style: A Case Study

This article discusses the analogical reasoning of students' types in solving trigonometric problems based on cognitive styles. research was conducted at MAN I Probolinggo, eighteen students asked to complete style tests and math ability tests. It found that answers can be grouped into two styles, namely systematic intuitive. From each group, one student taken interviewed with aim getting a more detailed explanation type reasoning. The results show explained as follows, first, style, understand problem given, mention detail all information is known asked, use about problem, read map structure relational problems, applying structured way solve have been planned advance. In intuitive type, only by reading once, some apply problem-solving methods. pre-planned but unstructured. Therefore, teachers must encourage enable optimally learning mathematics.
