My Paper
Application of "Whole Brain Teaching" in the Classroom Situation.
Introduction
we really wonder for our tiresome effort to teach our students when have almost zero result at hand. On the other hand just a click of action gives a good result. As a good teacher, we always try to make our students understand the problems and cope up with the information of the prescribed curriculum of their standard. We use different teaching strategies, tools and teaching materials yet we do not get good result. We feel that the frequency tuning between teacher and students is not set perfectly. Actually, The Kantipur F.M. is set at 96.1 Mhz. The F.M. does not become clear until we set it at 96.1M. Neither it works at 96.0 Mhz nor at 96.2 Mhz. Teaching learning process is also to some extent similar to tuning of the radio. The complete learning does not take place until the frequency is set perfectly between teacher and student. Our tiresome efforts go in vain if we are no able to identify students preferred learning style. “All of the properties of a given system (biological, chemical, social, economic, mental, linguistic, etc.) cannot be determined or explained by the sum of its component parts alone. Instead, the system as a whole determines, in an important way, how the parts behave (Wikipedia).” The learning style is influenced by the structure and actively functioning parts of human brain.
Literature Review Hippocrates was probably the first person who examined the brain during autopsies. He concluded that “The brain of man is double” and had been able to make the connection that the loss of speech was connected with damage to the left side of t he brain in 400 BC (Neethling, 2000). In 1864 a French surgeon, Paul Broca came to the same conclusion after observing that patients with aphasia (loss of speech) had damage to the left-brain.
