 BRAIN
• CONSISTS OF 3 MAIN STRUCTURES: CEREBRUM,
CEREBELLUM AND BRAIN STEM
• CERTAIN PARTS OF THE BRAIN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
PARTICULAR FUNCTIONS
• a portion of the central nervous system enclosed in the skull and
continuous with the spinal cord
 PARTS OF THE BRAIN
• CEREBELLUM - TIMING OF MOTOR ACTIVITIES, POSTURE
AND BALANCE, MUSCLE TONE AND MOVEMENTS
• CEREBRUM - THE LARGEST PORTION OF THE BRAIN;
RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST OF THE BRAIN'S FUNCTION SUCH
AS THOUGHT AND MOVEMENT & DIVIDED TO FOUR AREAS
OR LOBES
• BRAIN STEM - CONTROL OF LEVEL OF CONSIOUSNESS,
PRECEPTION OF PAIN
1 BRAIN
DOMINANCE
THEORY
• STATES THAT OUR BEHAVIOR IS A FUNCTION
OF THE HEIGHTENED ACTIVITY OF EITHER
LEFT OR RIGHT HEMISPHERE
• LEFT HEMISPHERE - IS IMPORTANT IN
LANGUAGE, ANALYTICAL THINKING;
PREFERS OUTLINE, DIDACTIC
ENVIRONMENTS, STRAIGHT LECTURE AND
LONG READING ASSIGNMENTS
• RIGHT HEMISPHERE - IS GEARED TOWARDS
HOLISTIC THINKING, CREATIVITY AND
VISUALS
• PREFERS THE USE OF SHORT STORIES AND
EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
WHOLE
BRAIN
THEORY
• BY NED HERMAN
• BELIEVES THAT THE BRAIN IS DIVIDED INTO
FOUR QUADRANTS WHERE EACH QUADRANT
IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PARTICULAR
ABILITIES
MULTIPLE
INTELLIGENCES
• BY HOWARD GARDNER
• INTELLIGENCE IS THE ABILITY TO SOLVE
PROBLEMS OR TO PRODUCE SOMETHING IN
PARTICULAR SETTING
• HE BELIVES THAT THESE INNATE
INTELLIGENCES ARE EXPRESSED IN
DIFFERENT SENSORY MODALITIES
THINKING
• THINKING IS DIFFICULT TO DEFINE
• EVERYDAY THINKING DOES NOT REQUIRE
EFFORT BECAUSE WE DEAL WITH THE
FAMILIAR, DAY-TO-DAY ROUTINE,
• HOWEVER WE ENGAGE IN EFFORTFUL
THINKING WHEN WE WORK ON PUZZLE,
SOLVE GEOMETRY OR MATH PROBLEMS,
TRANSLATE PASSAGES, MAKING PLANS,
MAKING DECISIONS, ETC.
CREATIVE
THINKING
• CREATIVE THINKING
• THE PRODUCTION OF AN EFFECTIVE
NOVELTY THROUGH THE OPERATION OF
OUR MENTAL PROCESSES
• BREAKING OUT OF AN OLD CONCEPTS
FRAMEWORKS AND CREATING NEW ONES
CRITICAL
THINKING
• CRITICAL THINKING
• CAUSE AND EFFECT DETERMINATION
• REQUIRES LOGIC, COHERENCE AND
ANALYZING, SYTHESIZING, EVALUATING
AND INTERPRETING
 MIND
MAPPING
• TONY BUZAN SUGGEST THIS TO ENHANCE
CREATIVITY AND THINKING
• A VISUAL THINKING TOOL THAT UTILIZES
COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS LIKE MEMORY,
LEARNING, CREATIVITY AND ANALYSIS
• A PROCESS THAT INVOLVES A COMBINATION
OF IMAGERY, COLOR AND VISUAL-SPATIAL
ARRANGEMENT
