摘要：This research aimed to examine the effect of collaboration Think Pair Share (TPS)
Leaning Model and m-Learning based on Android on the understanding of
trigonometry concepts and to investigate the interaction between collaborative
learning and cognitive style on the understanding of trigonometry concepts. This
research involved 80 pre-service teachers of Mathematics Department at STKIP
Santu Paulus Ruteng, Province of East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The quasiexperimental
research with control class without pre-test was done. Before the
experiment, the Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT) was used to identify
students cognitive styles either Field-Dependent (FD) or Field-Independent (FI).
The research data were obtained from a test consisting of five questions to measure
students’ understanding of trigonometry concepts. The data were then analyzed
using two-way ANOVA. The results of the research show that 1) the collaboration
of TPS Leaning Model and m-Learning based on Android leads to the higher
achievement of the students on the understanding of trigonometry concepts if
compared to students in conventional groups (expository). 2) there was no
interaction effect between the collaborative learning and cognitive style of
students’ understanding of trigonometry concepts.
