Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze and describe refractive thinking skills in solving mathematical problems in terms of thinking styles. This study uses qualitative with descriptive research types. The  research  subjects is the fourth semester mathematics education students. The data collection technique used is written tests and interviews. The results of the study is the students who have the style of thinking Abstract Sequential can only see information contained in questions, but cannot analyze the information. Hence, the determination of solving problem strategy is very inappropriate. The solution of the problems was not exactly right. Students who have a style of thinking concrete sequential can analyze the information contained the question, but in determining the solving strategy  is not appropriate, therefore the answer of the problem  is not right. Students who have the style of thinking abstract random can collect the information with their own editorial. They only wrote their strategy generally but cannot wrote down gradually. Hence, the planned strategy and solution not yet seen in detail. Students who have a concrete random style of thinking can gather the information contained in the problem, able to determine a problem solving strategy and the right solution.
