Abstract
Computational thinking can be used to enhance
students' cognitive abilities. Computational thinking can be utilized across
various domains, particularly in addressing intricate and multifaceted issues.
The cognitive style is one of the aspects that impacts the student's thinking
process. The study seeks to examine students' computational thinking abilities
in problem-solving, specifically focusing on cognitive styles. This research
falls under the category of descriptive research and adopts a qualitative
methodology. The instruments utilized include the GEFT exam, the description
test, and the interview guidelines. The data analysis involved examining the
responses from two groups of individuals with different cognitive styles,
categorized as having high, medium, or poor abilities. Research findings
indicate that cognitive styles are associated with variations in computational
thinking ability. Students with a cognitive style of field dependence (FD) do
poorly in fulfilling all four markers of computational thinking. Out of the
three subjects, only one subject comes close to satisfying all four indicators.
It can be inferred that students with a field-independent cognitive style
outperform students with a field-dependent cognitive style in computational
ability.
