Your Right Brain Is The Inspiration From Where All Else FlowsThe Top Right brainIs Your Right brain honoured?
Depending on where in the world you live, if you love playing in the upper right side of your brain most, you are either honoured or considered less smart. Top Right Brainer, in the eastern parts of the globe you are revered because of your visionary and imaginary capacity. In the west, mostly this is considered to be a flaky kind of thinking – nothing much to show for it.
Now, let’s not all flock to the East! Consider the gap in the West!
Right Brainers don't like to jump through the hoops just because that is the required thing. You would also have a hard time to make them follow rules which do not make sense to them. A little bit of a non-conformist, I’d say!
The big picture of things is easy for them to access and while the rest of the left-brained world is still busy trying to get it by step-by-stepping things; they are waiting impatiently with the holistic view already in hand.
Classroom Dilemma Let us specifically think of the mathematical classroom. When the question has been written on the board, the Right Brainer often has the answer immediately. Just don’t ask them to give you the step-by-step (left brain) process of how they got the answer! They don’t know. So here is the dilemma.
In examinations, marks are allocated for every step of the process, right down to the correct answer. Very few institutions allocate all the marks if only the correct answer is given. This means that the Right brain thinker has now lost a lot of marks! To add insult to injury, the Right Brain learner is now also accused of dishonesty! I mean, how is it possible to just get the answer? It must’ve been copied from somebody else! Ouch!

Learning /Teaching / Facilitation StrategiesThe academic world has not paid much attention on how to teach or facilitate so that the Right Brainer can also benefit. This learner has been described as the ‘problem’ of the class and the more left brained the teaching methods are, the more the right brained learner is lost. Should this learner also have a strong personality, the classroom becomes a playground and all the innovative skills are applied with imagination into strategies to disrupt the learning environment.
As teachers and facilitators, it is extremely important to take note of what is required for this learner to learn. If you consider the benefits that the Right Brainer can bring to all the facets of our society, it is imperative that incorporation in the classroom happens! Consider the strategies which must be built into classroom (or boardroom!) presentations. When building lessons or presentations use the Lower Left Brain also
