    About this ebook

    The purpose of this Master Thesis at Argosy University in December 2010 was to identify dominant learning modalities, as understood by the nine Multiple intelligences of Dr. Howard Gardner (Garner, 1993), the intelligences of right/left-brain dominance processing fields leading to whole brain theory in education. It can be called the Balanced Whole Learner, Whole Mind/Open mind learning methods. The brain dominance seems to be part of the Multiple Intelligence preference fields (Connell, 1996). Fifty secondary students, ten diverse adult learners, two administrators and eight teachers were part of the surveys done through 2009-2010. At the back of the text are diagnostic surveys, a potential interested person can take to determine their dominant learning styles.
    The questions that were asked was whether or not the adult learner or students were aware of the learning style preferences, and did they want to be aware of them.? The second focus was did their heritage, language, culture, educational level, or gender affect their learning style preferences? The researcher found positive data that supports these issues. The other information supports that brain dominance, MI theories are interwoven within each other as a composite Whole Brain Learning Theory. The text gives resources, findings and recommendations on how it can be implemented in a public school learning environment. The modalities can be integrated into a composite whole, and not separate categories, but an interwoven process to discover a persons brain processing. This is a valuable resources for an administrator, teacher, student, and adults to understand their unique method of processing information called the Whole Brain Learning Theory of education.

      ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

      The author of this thesis wishes to thank several professors for their patience and time at Argosy University Inland Empire. The first and foremost is Dr. Teresa Feller, a dedicated professor of Masters and Ph.d. thesis production. Her discipline editing helped the author realize how a Master’s thesis paper was arranged and design. Without her constant, patient editing, this paper would not have been created. My other mentor has been Dr. Narcisa Skeete, with her years of educational experience gave me humor and laughter with the difficult process of Graduate Studies. Also to my friend Judy Rangel, a retired ESL, Spanish teacher, who helped me gain understanding about second language acquisition students and how they have unique learning styles. The biggest help was my friend and student Kali Pratim Chourduray from Bangdelesh India, who helped me over come my emotional distress by giving me positive motivation to continue my quest.

      ABSTRACT

      The purpose of this study is to examine the need for learners to identify their dominant learning modality, as understood by the eight Multiple intelligences of Howard Gardner (Gardner,1993), the intelligences of right/left brain dominance-processing fields (Herrman, 1995; Jensen, 1998; Katzir, 2003) and some of the researchers in the whole brain theory. This is part of the Whole Brain learning theory, which is also called the Balanced Whole learner, Whole Mind/Open mind learning methods. The right/left brain processing seems to be part of the multiple intelligence preference fields (Connell, 1996). Fifty secondary students, ten diverse adult learners, two administrators, and eight teachers were part of the surveys done through 2009-2010.

      The questions that were asking whether or nor the adult learners or students were aware of the learning style preferences, and did they want to know them? The second focus was did their heritage, language, culture, educational level, or gender affect their learning style preferences. The researcher found positive data that supports these issues. The other information supports that brain dominance, MI intelligence theories are interwoven within each other as a composite Whole Brain Learning Theory. The study gives resources, findings and recommendations on how it can be implemented in a public school learning environment. The modalities can be integrated in a composite whole, and not separate categories, but an interwoven process to discover a person’s brain processing. This can be a process for an administrator, teacher, student, and adults to understand their unique method of processing information called the Whole Brain Learning Theory of Education.

      PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY OF

      EDUCATION

      By

      Joyce Diane Schulz

      Argosy University Online

      After spending close to thirty years in the California Public school sector, as a contractual teacher, long-term substitute, independent study teacher, and daily substitute; I developed a perspective on the public schools in general. I have worked all over California, in rural, urban, and farm areas. Each learning environment was a reflection of the community it served. It was when I worked in a Montessori learning environment and alternative education that I began to have some glimpses of what learning was about. I also worked in child development centers, which ran on a learning modalities curriculum, with sensory training, and concrete applications. I had not really tried to break apart all the components of the learning process until I went back to graduate school.

      Education for me is the doctrine of the life long learner. To the moment we are born, and to our death, we are in the process of learning some new information, or feeding the database in our brain. Education is not being fed facts like a database, but a reflective process, which makes positive citizens in the global area of shared values and ethics. It is the vehicle to give us skills and abilities to survive in this pluralistic society. We are part of a pluralistic society, and how we relate to our global family
