Understanding the style of learning and thinking (SOLAT) of the students is necessary to keep students actively involved in learning, which could influence the academic performance of the students.
The objective of this study was to compare the right and left hemisphere preferences for processing information with academic performance of medical students in both theory and practical exams.
The hemispheric preference score for learning and thinking style among first year MBBS (95) and BDS (42) students was determined by SOLAT tool prepared by Dr. V. Venkataraman (1994). A comparison of the hemispheric score between high achievers and low achievers in theory and practical exams was performed by using the unpaired Student's -test and Mann-Whitney -test.
The mean hemispheric scores for the right hemisphere, left hemisphere, and whole brain were 26.51, 14.5, and 6.76, respectively. High achievers in theory exam and practical exam received a higher left-hemispheric score and whole-brain score than low achievers; the difference in the mean value of hemispheric score was statistically not significant.
There was no statistically significant relationship between academic achievement and hemispheric preference scores.
了解学生的学习和思维方式(SOLAT)对于让学生积极参与学习是必要的,这可能会影响学生的学业成绩。
本研究的目的是比较医学生在理论考试和实践考试中处理信息时左右脑半球偏好与学业成绩之间的关系。
通过V. Venkataraman博士(1994年)编制的SOLAT工具,确定了一年级医学学士(95名)和口腔医学学士(42名)学生学习和思维方式的半球偏好得分。使用非配对学生t检验和曼-惠特尼U检验对理论考试和实践考试中高成就者和低成就者的半球得分进行比较。
右半球、左半球和全脑的平均半球得分分别为26.51、14.5和6.76。理论考试和实践考试中的高成就者比低成就者获得更高的左半球得分和全脑得分;半球得分平均值的差异在统计学上不显著。
学业成绩与半球偏好得分之间没有统计学上的显著关系。
