Brain Dominance, Learning Styles, and Mathematics Performance of Pre-Service Mathematics Teachers

Rene R Belecina, Jose M Ocampo, Jr.

Abstract


ABSTRACT: Brain dominance has been a topic in various researches in brain-based research and neuro science. Some researches show that people typically favor the use of one side of their brain over the other. Discussions about brain hemispheres reveal the fact that there are differences between individual learning styles. Different models, approaches, and inventories have been developed depending on the result or findings of brain studies. The study described the brain dominance, learning styles, and mathematics performance of pre-service mathematics teachers. It aimed to identify right- and left-brain thinkers and certain styles of learning (specifically visual, auditory, or kinesthetic) of pre-service mathematics teachers in relation to mathematics performance. The HBDI (Hemisphere Brain Dominance Inventory), the LSI (Learning Style Inventory), and the MPT (Mathematics Performance Test) were used to identify the brain dominance, learning styles, and mathematics performance of the pre-service teachers respectively. The study employed the descriptive research design, specifically the survey method. Results revealed that pre-service mathematics teachers have varied brain dominance. Learning style and brain dominance were found to be significant factors associated to mathematics performance. Moreover, learning styles and brain dominance are also significantly associated. Research-based evidence from the study may be used to encourage teachers and curriculum planners to develop and use appropriate styles of teaching to enhance their student's mathematics performance.       

KEY WORD: Brain Dominance; Learning Styles; Mathematics Performance. 

RINGKASAN: “Dominasi Otak, Gaya Belajar, dan Kinerja Matematika dari Guru Matematika Pra-Jabatan”. Dominasi otak telah menjadi topik dalam berbagai penelitian dalam kajian berbasis otak dan ilmu saraf. Beberapa penelitian menunjukkan bahwa orang biasanya lebih menyukai penggunaan satu sisi otak mereka daripada sisi lainnya. Diskusi tentang belahan otak mengungkapkan fakta bahwa ada perbedaan antara gaya belajar individu. Berbagai model, pendekatan, dan inventaris telah dikembangkan tergantung pada hasil atau temuan studi otak. Studi ini menggambarkan dominasi otak, gaya belajar, dan kinerja matematika dari guru matematika pra-jabatan. Ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi pemikiran otak kanan dan kiri dan gaya belajar tertentu (khususnya visual, auditori, atau kinestetik) guru matematika pra-jabatan dalam kaitannya dengan kinerja matematika. HBDI (Inventarisasi Belahan Otak Dominan), LSI (Inventarisasi Gaya Belajar), dan MPT (Tes Kinerja Matematika) digunakan untuk mengidentifikasi dominasi otak, gaya belajar, dan kinerja matematika dari masing-masing guru pra-jabatan. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian deskriptif, khususnya metode survei. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa guru matematika pra-jabatan memiliki variasi dominasi otak. Gaya belajar dan dominasi otak ditemukan sebagai faktor signifikan yang terkait dengan kinerja matematika. Selain itu, gaya belajar dan dominasi otak juga berhubungan secara signifikan. Bukti berbasis penelitian dari kajian ini dapat digunakan untuk mendorong guru dan perencana kurikulum untuk mengembangkan dan menggunakan gaya pengajaran yang sesuai untuk meningkatkan kinerja matematika siswa mereka.

KATA KUNCI: Dominasi Otak; Gaya Belajar; Kinerja Matematika.
