Penelitian kualitatif ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis siswa ditinjau dari gaya kognitif Field Independent (FI) dan Field Dependent (FD) pada materi lingkaran. Penelitian ini penting dilakukan karena kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis masih menjadi salah satu kompetensi yang relatif rendah pada siswa, khususnya pada materi geometri, sementara setiap siswa memiliki karakteristik kognitif yang berbeda dalam memahami dan menyelesaikan masalah matematika. Pemahaman mengenai perbedaan gaya kognitif FI dan FD diharapkan dapat membantu guru dalam merancang strategi pembelajaran yang lebih tepat dan efektif sesuai karakteristik siswa. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada semester genap tahun ajaran 2025/2026 di SMAN 20 Bone. Subjek penelitian adalah dua orang siswa kelas XI yang dipilih melalui tes kemampuan awal dan tes gaya kognitif GEFT (Group Embedded Figure Test), terdiri dari satu siswa bergaya kognitif FI dan satu siswa bergaya kognitif FD. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui tes tertulis pemecahan masalah matematis dan wawancara. Keabsahan data diuji melalui triangulasi teknik, yaitu membandingkan hasil tes dan hasil wawancara. Data dianalisis menggunakan tahapan Miles, Huberman, dan Saldaña (2014), meliputi kondensasi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan, berdasarkan empat indikator pemecahan masalah Polya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Subjek FI mampu memahami masalah secara tepat, menyusun strategi yang sistematis, melaksanakan perhitungan secara akurat, dan melakukan evaluasi terhadap hasil. Sebaliknya, Subjek FD mampu mengidentifikasi informasi dasar, namun belum tepat dalam menginterpretasikan bentuk bangun geometri, cenderung menggunakan pendekatan langsung tanpa analisis mendalam, dan tidak melakukan pemeriksaan kembali terhadap jawaban. Perbedaan utama antara keduanya terletak pada kemampuan analisis geometri, kedalaman strategi, dan kesadaran metakognitif..
