Brain Hemisphericity and Learning Style on the Interpretation of Exam Result of the Medical Students

This study examines the relationship between brain hemisphericity, learning style and its effects on examination result among the professional students. The research has been demonstrated the usage of brain hemisphericity and different learning style adopted by the students and how it effects on their examination results. A sample of 100 first to third year medical students including both males and females selected for the study. The data were analysed using Analysis of variance, t†test and correlation test to identify the relationship between the students learning style and their dominant usage of brain hemisphere. The research has demonstrated the importance of brain hemisphericity as it related with learning style. The result of the study reveals that there is a significant relationship between brain hemisphericity and learning style of students. This study also examines the effects of learning style and brain hemisphericity on the interpretation of examination result of the medical students. The research result shows that brain hemisphericity greatly influenced on the examination results. The result of the research will help the teachers and curriculum designers to develop better teaching aids and to incorporate teaching technique’s which enhance three types of learning style and to choose an apt method of teaching, based on the usage of brain hemisphericity of the students. Also assessment of examination result can be modified according to the students learning style and the use of brain hemisphere. A student centred approach in teaching and learning can inculcate in the educational sector to modified the traditional approach of educational system. Students can identify their learning style and to take appropriate step to enhance other learning styles to improve their academic output.
