Brain dominance and its relationship to the professional trends in high school students: السيطرة الدماغية وعلاقتها بالميول المهنية لدى طلاب المرحلة الثانوية

The current study aimed to identify the relationship between brain domain and professional tendencies in high school students in Taif governorate, if there are differences between individuals in professional tendencies based on brain domain and is there a difference in the order of professional tendencies of students with left- handed sovereignty of the brain and students with right- handed sovereignty for the brain and if there are differences in the professional tendencies of the study sample due to the specialization and differences in the dominant side of the brain in the sample of the study depending on the variable of specialization. To achieve the objectives of the study, the descriptive curriculum was followed and the sample consisted of 97 high school students. The researcher used the brain range (Torrance, 1988: rationing Murad, 1994) and the Professional tendencies Scale (Preparation of Ayad, 2011). The results of the study showed no correlation between brain domain and professional tendencies in high school students, as well as no statistically significant differences in the professional tendencies based on brain domain. There are also no statistically significant differences in the professional tendencies due to the variable specialization, and the left pattern is prevalent among students of scientific disciplines, while the integrated pattern is the dominant pattern among students of literary disciplines, and the descending order of the students with left- handed sovereignty differs from the brain and students with right- handed sovereignty of the brain. And In light of the results, the researcher recommends giving students a variety of tasks that help them use both sides of the brain more. And support the curriculum with activities that address the two hemispheres of the brain. And the use of the integrative learning model or the integrated educational model in the educational environment to achieve integration between the two hemispheres of the brain. And training teachers to employ different strategies to develop both sides of the brain, in proportion to the different learning and thinking styles of students.

Development of Brain Balancing System for Left and Right Hemispheres

This paper presents the design of Mini Brain Games (MBGs) to improve either the left or right hemisphere of the brain. The MBG includes spot the difference, piano, block view, word building, word scrambler, sudoku, left hand control, memory card, flash card, crossword, math logic and mnemonics technique used for the order of operations in algebra, the planets in solar system, and resistor color code. Stroop test and brain dominance test are used to measure the level of balance between the two hemispheres of the brain before and after the exercise program. The mini brain games designed in the Brain Balancing System Windows Application are shown to improve the balance between the left and right hemisphere of the brain. The results show that the mini brain games are indeed able to assist in the left or right brain development. The largest improvement achieved is that the percentage of dominance between the two brain hemispheres is reduced by 18.18%. The smallest improvement achieved was that the difference between the two brain hemispheres was reduced by 9.08%.

Divergent Thinking and Convergent Thinking in the Mathematical Creative Thinking Process in terms of Student Brain Dominance

Divergent thinking and convergent thinking play a very important role in a person's creative thinking process to solve problems and these two types of thinking are related to hemispheric functions that will affect the way a person perceives information processing. This makes research important. The purpose of this study was to obtain a picture of divergent thinking and convergent thinking in the mathematical creative thinking process in terms of brain dominance. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive exploratory approach. The instruments used were mathematical creative thinking questions, brain dominance tests, and unstructured interviews. The result of this research is that students who dominate the left brain in the creative thinking process are more dominant in convergent thinking, students who dominate the balanced brain in the creative thinking process are balanced in divergent thinking and convergent thinking, while student who dominate the right brain in the creative thinking process are more dominant in divergent thinking.

Research in the Classroom: The Teaching of Economics and Gamification

This paper presents the preliminary results of a proposal to facilitate the understanding of concepts and the logic of economy in university students who are not enrolled in the academic program of economics. This proposal is based on the simulation game called Strategies and Markets in Economics (Estrategias y Mercados en Economía – EMERCO), which resulted from a research process in the classroom. The methodology has a qualitative approach and a descriptive type, with an exploratory scope. This study shows the functioning of the game, the selection of the team according to mentality type and brain dominance, in accordance with the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument. The game has novel elements in its structure by bringing the real functioning of a market to the classroom, achieving better results in regard to grades and in the assimilation of the contents in introductory classes and fundamentals of economics in higher education.

Meta Cognition Thinking and Its Relationship to Patterns of Brain Dominance among Jordanian University Students According to Gender and Specialization Variables

The study aimed to identify the level of Meta Cognition thinking and its relationship to dominant patterns of brain dominance among Jordanian university students, and to identify if there were differences in the level of Meta Cognition thinking and brain dominance patterns attributed to variables of gender and college. The study sample consisted male and female students at the academic year 2020/2021, and this sample was taken in a simple random way. Two measures were applied: Meta Cognition thinking, and brain dominance patterns, after confirming their psychometric properties. The results showed that the level of Meta Cognition thinking among Jordanian university students is (high), and that the dominant brain pattern among the study sample is the right pattern, followed by the left and then the integrated, and also there is no statistically significant relationship between the brain dominance patterns and the variables of gender and college, and there is statistically significant differences in Meta Cognition thinking among students with the (left) brain dominance pattern compared to those with the (integrated) brain control pattern and in favor of those with the left brain dominance type.

Autopercepción del estilo cognitivo profesional y dominancia cerebral en estudiantes de último año de secundaria

Este estudio busca examinar la relación entre aptitudes profesionales, perfil de estilo cognitivo (EC) y de dominancia cerebral (DC). Mediante un diseño correlacional se evaluó la autopercepción del estilo cognitivo profesional y la dominancia cerebral en 98 estudiantes de último año de secundaria.

Following a correlational design, the self-perception of professional cognitive style and brain dominance were evaluated in 98 last year high school students

KEMAMPUAN METAKOGNITIF SISWA DALAM MENYELESAIKAN PERMASALAHAN PADA MATERI POLA BILANGAN DITINJAU DARI BRAIN DOMINANCE

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kemampuan metakognitif siswa SMP dalam menyelesaikan permasalahan pada materi pola bilangan ditinjau dari brain dominance. Penentuan subjek berdasarkan brain dominance siswa kelas VIIIC SMP Negeri 13 Madiun. Berdasarkan angket brain dominance yang dibagikan diperoleh 4 subjek yang terdiri dari 2 subjek left brain dominance dan 2 subjek right brain dominance. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini berdasarkan hasil angket, tes, dan wawancara. Teknik keabsahan data dilakukan dengan triangulasi teknik. Analisis data dilakukan dengan reduksi data, penyajian data, dan verifikasi data serta penarikan kesimpulan.
