Education is a potent force in developing a child into skilled, effective, productive and law-abiding citizen. It is therefore imperative that the environment for the education of the child is conducive and congenial for his growth and development. The aim of the study was to compare students’ preferences for learning environment on the basis of School Types. The study adopted the descriptive method of the Casual – Comparative type. The sample comprised of 574 standard VIII English medium students from schools. The tools used for the study were Preferred Learning Environment Scale by Fraser (1996) and Hemisphericity Dominance Test by Venkataraman. ANOVA and ‘t’ test was used to compare students’ preference for learning environment on the basis of hemisphericity and gender respectively. The findings are discussed in detail in the paper.

This article provides a report on a finished piece of research. The study is divided into two stages. Firstly, the brain dominance and grammatical sensitivity of Pedagogy and Medical students in a Chilean university were measured. The correlation of both variables shows that Medical students are better at grammatical sensitivity than Pedagogy students and that left-brain dominance involves higher levels of grammatical sensitivity than right-brain dominance. The instruments used in this stage were: 1) a grammatical sensitivity pre-test (used to assess the students’ levels in this variable), 2) a brain dominance instrument (used to determine the cerebral preferences of the students) and 3) an abstract reasoning test (which measures a person’s ability to identify non numerical or verbal patterns). In the second stage, Pedagogy students underwent a five-session training aimed at improving their grammatical sensitivity. After the training was over, we administered a grammatical sensitivity post- test whose results were compared with the ones in the pre-test; the purpose was to determine if the training could improve the students’ performance in this variable. It was concluded that the training was successful since their grammatical sensitivity improved in 20%. In addition, most students with high attendance to the training (over 80%) improved their grammatical sensitivity after attending it.

<span>The brain dominance is referred to right brain and left brain. The brain dominance can be observed with an Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal to identify different types of electrical pattern in the brain and will form the foundation of one’s personality. The objective of this project is to analyze brain dominance by using Wavelet analysis. The Wavelet analysis is done in 2-D Gabor Wavelet and the result of 2-D Gabor Wavelet is validated with an establish brain dominance questionnaire. Twenty-one samples from University Malaysia Pahang (UMP) student are required to answer the establish brain dominance questionnaire has been collected in this experiment. Then, brainwave signal will record using Emotiv device. The threshold value is used to remove the artifact and noise from data collected to acquire a smoother signal. Next, the Band-pass filter is applied to the signal to extract the sub-band frequency components from Delta, Theta, Alpha, and Beta. After that, it will extract the energy of the signal from image feature extraction process. Next the features were classified by using K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) in two ratios which 70:30 and 80:20 that are training set and testing set (training: testing). The ratio of 70:30 gave the highest percentage of 83% accuracy while a ratio of 80:20 gave 100% accuracy. The result shows that 2-D Gabor Wavelet was able to classify brain dominance with accuracy 83% to 100%.</span>

At the University of Pretoria during 1999 the thinking-style preferences of three groups of students ( ns = 50, 31, and 13) taking a first course in calculus were assessed using the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument. Analysis affirmed diversity in thinking-style preferences among the students and that the groups' scores represent a composite range of such preferences. Clearly, teachers of mathematics should be aware of and accommodate this diversity in instructional activities.

This study compared the effect of the Gallwey inner game method with the progressive method, as presented in the U.S. Volleyball Association Level 1 Technical Manual, on the learning of volleyball skills. The interaction of the methods with hemispheric dominance was also investigated. Hemisphericity was assessed using the Herrmann Participant Survey Form (HPSF). Volleyball skill was evaluated with a modification of the Barbarich (1980) Forearm Pass Test (BFPT) and a team game called cooperation. Undergraduate volunteers were divided into four groups. Two groups were taught by the inner game method and the other two groups were taught by the progressive method. Analysis of variance on the gain scores of the BFPT revealed no significant differences between the methods for forearm pass. There were also no differences on the team scores for cooperation, nor was there any significant interaction between brain dominance and either method. Thus, the prediction that right hemisphere dominant students would profit more if taught by the inner game method and that left hemisphere dominant students would profit more through the progressive method was not realized.

This study aims at investigating the relationship between predicting personality types through physiognomy on theone hand and through using personality scale on the other. 474 volunteers participated. 3 scales were used to collectdata: physiognomy judgments, Abulaban physiognomy scale and Herman brain dominance scale. The resultsindicated that there were high positive correlations between the three scales. The study recommends usingphysiognomy as a method to determine personality type as it is easy, valid, and provides fast results.
