ABSTRAKPada umumnya kemandirian belajar dan kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematika siswa SMP masih rendah. Guru sebagai pelaksana kegiatan belajar mengajar, menjadi faktor utama yang menjadi penyebab masalah tersebut terjadi. Salah satu upaya yang dapat dilakukan guru adalah menciptakan suasana belajar yang cocok dengan jenis gaya belajar siswa (auditorial, visual, ataupun kinestetik), sehingga diharapkan tujuan pembelajaran dapat dicapai secara efektif. Penelitian ini dilakukan di SMP Negeri 2 Tarogong Kidul kelas IX pada tahun ajaran 2015-2016 semester ganjil. Metode penelitian yang digunakan berupa penelitian eksplanatif komparatif-asosatif. Dari hasil penelitian terungkap bahwa: 1) Tidak terdapat perbedaan kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematik, antar siswa ditinjau dari jenis gaya belajarnya. 2) Tidak terdapat perbedaan tingkat kemandirian belajar matematika antar siswa ditinjau dari gaya belajarnya. 3) Kemandirian belajar siswa mempengaruhi tingkat kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis siswa. Dari hasil penelitian tersebut menunjukkan bahwa setiap siswa, baik yang mempunyai gaya belajar auditorial, visual, ataupun kinestetik mempunyai tingkat kemandirian belajar dan kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematik yang sama. Selain itu, diketahui pula bahwa semakin tinggi tingkat kemandirian belajar siswa, maka semakin tinggi pula kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis siswa.ABSTRACTIn general, independent learning and problem solving ability mathematics junior high school students is still low. Teachers practice teaching and learning activities, the main factor that causes the problem from happening. One of the efforts that teachers can do is to create a learning environment that matches the kind of student learning styles (auditory, visual, or kinesthetic), so hopefully learning objectives can be achieved effectively. This research was conducted in Tarogong South Junior High School 2 class IX in odd semester of school year 2015-2016. The method used in the form of comparative research explanation-associative. From the results of the study revealed that: 1) There is no difference in mathematical problem solving skills, among students in terms of the type of learning style. 2) There is no difference in the level of independence of learning mathematics among students in terms of learning styles. 3) Independence of student learning affects the level of students' mathematical problem solving ability. From the results of these studies indicate that each student, both of which have auditory learning style, visual, or kinesthetic have this level of independent learning and problem solving skills the same mathematical. In addition, it is also known that the higher the level of independence of student learning, the higher the students' mathematical problem solving ability.

PurposeIn a programming course, students often need tutors' assistance to complete learning activities, as they lack enough background knowledge to complete tasks. A further problem is that without individual tutoring, the knowledge gap between students increases. Therefore, the authors have proposed an instant response learning supplement tool (IRLST) to support students' learning, in order to facilitate students' independent problem-solving skills.Design/methodology/approachThe authors divided the students into two groups according to their learning styles: verbal and visual. The IRLST was used to collect and analyze the information on their usage and provide supplementary resources to facilitate their learning. The proposed system also analyzed the student usage, background knowledge and exam scores to assess their academic performance.FindingsAccording to the results of statistical analysis, students' learning performance improved significantly, especially low-scoring students. Moreover, as compiler messages were not recognized, students tended to identify the same problems. Thus, it is suggested that teachers not only should focus on improving the students' syntax but also strengthening their background knowledge and debugging skills.Research limitations/implicationsThere are two main limitations in this study: (1) as most of the students were in the visual learning group, the size of the groups was impacted, thus it was not possible to establish a control group; (2) one specific version of the IRLST system did not send reliable advice or supplementary content occasionally.Originality/valueThe IRLST developed in this study can be used to provide immediate supplementary resources to help students overcoming programming problems and developing problem-solving skills.

One of the goals of mathematics learning according to the content standards of mathematics is that students have the ability to solve problems that include the ability to understand problems, design mathematical models, complete models and interpret solutions obtained. So that students from elementary school to university level have been trained in mathematical problem solving questions. However, there are still many weak students in achievement in the field of mathematics such as problem solving skills. One of the factors that influence the weakness of problem solving skills is the learning style. The purpose of this study was to analyze students' mathematical problem solving abilities based on learning styles. The type of this research is descriptive quantitative, with the research subject being students of class VIII MTsN totaling 38 students. The instrument used is Questionnaire and Test the ability to solve mathematical problems. Questionnaires are used to classify student learning styles, while problem solving ability tests are used to analyze students' problem solving abilities. The results of the study concluded that mathematical problem solving abilities of students who had a visual learning style were higher than the mathematical problem solving abilities of students who had audiotorial and kinesthetic learning styles. And the ability of problem solving students who have audiotorial learning styles is higher than students who have kinesthetic learning styles.
