Abstract
The purpose of this study was to find the influence of students' cognitive styles and cognitive levels on chemistry problem solving. 322 11th grade students were administered Group Embedded Figures Test(GEFT), Group Assesment of Logical Thinking(GALT), and chemistry problem solving task about mole and stoichiometry. Chemistry task was made of ten items, 5 items of them include misleading factor(irrelevant information). The students who are field-independent and in formal operational stage got higher scores than those who are field-dependent and in transitional stage. In 5 items which have no misleading factor GALT had significantly contributed to the regression equation, while in 5 items which have misleading factor GEFT was significant contribution to the regression equation. In two items of misleading items, students who used the irrelevant information were significantly more field dependent than those who did not use this information.
