The Effect of Problem Solving Learning Method and Cognitive Style on Students’ Analytical Skills in Economics

Ni Made Sari Sanjaya

Abstract


The purpose of this study to find out the test results: (1) differences in analytical skills of students who studied with problem solving methods and lectures methods, (2) differences in cognitive style field independent and field dependent on the analytical skills of students, (3) the interaction between problem solving method and cognitive style on analytical skills. This research was conducted by applying 2x2 factorial design. The object of this research is class XI SMA Negeri 2 Singaraja. The study hypothesis was tested with a statistical test Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results showed that (1) there is a difference of analytical skills students learn problem solving method and lecture method (F = 38.130; a significance level of 0.000; p <0.05), (2) there are differences in cognitive style field independent and field dependent on analysis skills (F = 11,400; a significance level of 0.001; p <0.05), (3) there is an interaction effect between the problem solving method and cognitive style on analytical skills (F = 10.310; a significance level of 0.002; p <0.05).
