OBJECTIVES
AT THE END OF THIS LESSON, THE STUDENTS WILL, IS EXPECTED TO BE ABLE TO:

 discuss that understanding brain laterality can help

improve learning
 explain two types of mind-mapping techniques suited to
right-brain or left-brain dominant thinking
 discuss the meaning of creative and critical thinking and
how to enhance these thinking patterns
 make a plan to improve learning using left and right
brain through mind-mapping activities

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Brain dominance leads to thinking preference that can

influence and determine the learning styles of a person

Thus, whether we use the Brain Dominance Theory or

the Whole Model theory, we can see that brain functions
affect the way we approach solving problems day to day.

What is Thinking?
Thinking involves manipulating mental
representation and prevents us from making a
