Abstract |
This study is intended to investigate correlative relationship between the type of brain dominance and the student choice of his academic study. The sample of the study incorporate (453) students of the basic and secondary cycles, the students of Educational Science Faculty (UNWA), faculty of Engineering and faculty of Nursing in the academic year 2003/04.The tool used in the study is the Hemisphere Dominance Inventory Test. The result of the study showed the dominance of the left hemisphere comes first, the dominance of the right hemisphere comes next, and thirdly comes the balanced dominance. The Two – Way Variant Analysis showed differences with statistical significance for the academic specialization variant. When Scheffe test used the differences were for the student of basic and secondary cycles. Chi square test revealed that there was statistically significant correlation between brain dominance and the academic specialization. The study came up with some recommendation: the importance of activating the functions of the right hemisphere, conducting for the studies on the types of brain dominance foe different ages and different cultural backgrounds, preparing new measurement tools for brain dominance, and finally co-operative bridging neurologists and the educationalists. |
