Fragmentation of thinking structure is a condition where information storage does not work well. Related to processing information, one of the factors that affect an individual's ability to store information is cognitive style. Field Dependent (FD) cognitive style requires more guidance from others in order to understand the material well. With the characteristics possessed by students with FD cognitive style, it is very possible for students with FD cognitive style to experience fragmentation of thinking structures. Therefore, the researchers tried to explore the characteristics of the form of fragmentation that might occur in students with FD cognitive style on the exponential equation material. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method that describes the characteristics of the fragmentation of the thinking structure of students with FD cognitive style. From the results of the study, it was found that students with the FD cognitive style experienced all types of fragmentation of thinking structures. This is reflected in the difficulty of students in solving problems that have not been exemplified by the teacher. Even though the subject knows the concept, when faced with different problems, they have difficulty solving them
