Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between cognitive styles and learning styles was done with mathematics anxiety. This study is a correlation research that is descriptive of the categories.

The sample size was based on Morgan 357 people. The spatial multi-stage cluster sampling was conducted. Participants in the questionnaire Vytkyn cognitive styles, learning styles Kolb and pelicans and Parker have completed mathematics anxiety. The results showed that the learning styles and cognitive styles unrelated to areas of mathematics anxiety, there was a significant correlation as well as learning styles and cognitive styles can predict Field Independence of mathematics anxiety are independent. In general, it can be concluded from the findings that the variation in cognitive structure and learning styles in mind institutionalized students Mathematics influences and can be one of the reasons is the parent mathematics anxiety.
