Abstract
Many studies have tried to examine the cognitive style, but it is still relatively common because it tends to be associated with learning achievement in mathematics. Very few studies have tried to link cognitive style with mathematical creative thinking skills regarding gender. This comparative study compares students' mathematical creative thinking abilities based on cognitive style and gender. A total of 77 Class VII students of SMP Negeri II Langke Rembong were involved in this study. Data were collected using tests, namely tests of creative thinking skills and tests of cognitive style. The results of the analysis using Two Paths Anova show that there is no difference in students' mathematical creative thinking abilities based on cognitive style and gender. This study's results support various theories that cognitive style and gender do not determine a person's mathematical ability. Implications of results and strategies for improving mathematics creative thinking ability are discussed.
