Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the students mathematical thinking based on their own learning style. The second objective of this research is to find out which one of the learning style which has the highest mean score of the students mathematical thinking. In addition, this study also aims to find out whether there is a relationship between the students mathematical thinking with the learning style they have. Based on the result of research, the students mathematical thinking mostly in the medium level. Meanwhile, the dimension of learning style possessed by the majority of students is an assimilating learning style. Students with medium level of mathematical thinking, have an assimilating style. The highest mean score of the students mathematical thinking test is obtained by group of students who have converging style. Although there is a difference in the statistical description, but the relationship between students mathematical thinking with their own learning styles is not significant. Nevertheless, the knowledge of the description of these two variables can serve as a good enough reference for determining the students self-development direction in the future
