Abstract

This study aimed to narrate the description of students’ cognitive processes when completing multitasking-based problem-solving tasks. This study was qualitative-exploratory research. The research data was extracted through multitasking-based problem-solving tasks and the results of task-based interviews which were then analyzed qualitatively. The credibility of the data was checked by using the triangulation method. The research subjects were two people who were obtained through the process of selecting students with multitasking-based problem-solving tasks. The results obtained indicated that the students’ cognitive process included four stages of the cognitive process, namely specializing, conjecturing, generalizing, and convincing. However, in the specializing stage, each subject showed different characteristics in terms of the problem-solving strategies used and the representations shown in communicating the results of their thoughts. The existence of this difference indicated that students’ ability to use strategies depended on experience and practice, even the strategies themselves might become more abstract and complex. Thus, the results of this study were considered by teachers in determining learning models that were suitable for students’ abilities.
