Analysis of student learning styles and geometry thinking skills: During the covid-19 pandemic

In social restrictions due to the current pandemic, there is a change in the learning system and changing learning styles. So it has the potential to affect mathematical abilities, especially geometry thinking skills. The problems are: 1)how the learning styles tendencies of students during the pandemic, 2)how the students 'geometric thinking abilities viewed from the level of geometry according to van Hiele, 3)how the students' geometric thinking abilities viewed from their learning styles, and 4)are their association of student learning styles with the level of geometry ability according to van Hiele. This research conducted at the University of Bina Bangsa in mathematics education, totaling 38 students. The method in this research is mixed methods. For quantitative data were analyzed using chi-square test and contingency test, while qualitative data were analyzed using flow models. The study found that during the covid-19 pandemic, the students tend to use auditory learning style and it is known that there is an association between student learning style and geometric ability level according to Van Hiele. Furthermore, it is known that the higher level of geometry ability of students, the higher indicators of ability to think geometry they have.
