Abstract: This is a qualitative descriptive research that aims to describe students' thinking level based on Van Hiele theory on three dimensional materials by considering cognitive style. The subjects of this study were 2 students of class XII in SMAN 1 Pangkajene representing Field Independent (FI) cognitive style. The instruments used were GEFT (Group Embedded Figure Test), geometry test and interview guidelines. The GEFT test distinguished students' cognitive style for finding FI. Geometry test was according to indicators of thinking level which is based on Van Hiele theory. The interview guidelines contained a number of guides that aimed to explore and clarify students' answers in depth. Data were collected through tests and interviews and analysed using Miles and Huberman data analysis model. The result of the study shows that: first subject and second subject (FI-1 and FI-2) are at the "deduction level". The difference between the both subjects is the number of verification method performed. FI-1 was able to verify deductively through two ways while the subject of FI-2 is only capable of one way.
