Assessment of Non-Dominant Brain Regions in Science And Mathematics Education
Abstract
The present study was aimed to determine the brain dominance which are not used predominantly of prospective science and mathematics teachers’. The study was designed as asurvey model. Data was obtained from questionnaire from the final yearvoluntary pre-service science teachers. The study was carried out with 70 prospective Science and 63 prospective Mathematics teachers. The brain dominance scale was used to determine the brain dominance of the prospective teachers in the study. As a result of the research, it has been determined that the prospective teachers who are studying in the field of science and mathematics are related to the non-dominant brain regions A and D quadrants, which are related with the frontal lobe of the brain. The most used brain region was C. It is also a remarkable finding of this study that the predominant and non-dominant brain regions of prospective science and mathematics teachers are similar.
