This study aims to describe students’ spatial reasoning abilities with the characteristics of Field Dependent and Field Independent in solving problems in geometry. The design of this research is a case study. A total of 33 students were classified based on cognitive style with the GEFT test. Two subjects were taken, each of which had a field-dependent and field-independent cognitive style. Data were collected using the GEFT test for cognitive style determination, spatial reasoning ability tests, and interviews. Instrument validation by one expert and one mathematics teacher. The data analysis process is data collection, data reduction, data display, data presentation under the objectives, verification, and conclusion. Based on the study results, the subject with field-dependent cognitive style has a spatial relationship, but their spatial orientation, mental rotation, and spatial perception are imperfect. The field-dependent subject does not have spatial visualization. Subject with field-independent cognitive style has spatial orientation, mental rotation, and spatial relationships, but they do not have spatial visualization and spatial perception.
