This study aims to describe what stages students go through in the process of cognitive conflict in solving plane geometry problems in quadrilaterals form. The data were collected through observations of words or sentences, leading to the derivation of qualitative outputs. The process of cognitive conflict is based on discrepant events sourced from the students themselves. Thus, in this case there are two students who are used as research subjects. The screening begins with giving two problems about quadrilateral problems where students are asked to answer by choosing the appropriate plane shape and giving an explanation and then there is an intervention to see the cognitive conflict. The results showed that the data discrepant event in the process of cognitive conflict can be present several times and can also only once. The process of cognitive conflict students in solving the problems given in this study begins with the in-conflict stage, post-conflict stage, and ends with the final stage. Discrepant event it appears due to errors in applying prior knowledge characterized by confusion and anxiety when solving problems. © 2024 Author(s).
