The Process of Students' Mathematical Connection in Solving Mathematical Problems in terms of Learning Styles

The purpose of this study was to describe the process students' mathematical connections in solving problems terms learning styles. type research used is descriptive with a qualitative approach. subjects were six students consisting two who have visual style, an auditory and kinesthetic style. Student style data collected through questionnaires, while student connection test sheets interviews. Data credibility done by triangulating sources methods. from for each these styles described categorized same, different, specific views. obtained results questionnaire compared using analysis guided four steps solve Polya's carried out three stages, namely condensation, presentation, conclusions. showed that there are differences visual, auditory, step understanding problem. However, similarities at compiling completion plan checking again. different implementing re-checking. back cannot be seen, because do not take when problems. Researchers suggest teachers need accustom connecting mathematics both internally externally pay attention emphasis material given so more developed. did
