Right-Brain – Global Learners
Great
Brain’s DMIT Analysis reveals your inborn talents. One of the
details revealed is about Right Brain Vs Right Brain.
A Global Learner is a person who initially processes
information through the right hemisphere of the brain, which deals with color,
visualization, creation& visual information. Good in visualizations,
imagination, creativity, intuition& rhythm.
·
They first tend to see “the big picture” and then focus their learning on the
details that develop the big picture concept.
·
They enjoy learning details through discovery, experiment, exploration,
discussion, brainstorming or group processes.
·
Prefer information in the form of pictures, charts, diagrams& colorful
visual stimuli.
·
In problem solving situation, they may take intuitive leap to find solutions,
sometimes creating, and their own problem-solving steps.
·
They may be unable to explain to other show they arrive at their solutions.
·
They do well in classes that involve learning communities, informally
structured environments, discussions, group or cooperative learning activities.
Essential Strategies for Global Learners
1. Question
about connections, relationships, trends or themes when the details seem
detached from the whole or the big picture.
2. Find a “study buddy”, form a study group, form an online
chat group or participate in tutoring or discussion sessions so you can discuss
course topic and interact with other students. Add creativity to your lecture
notes or course materials by adding colors, pictures or diagrams to emphasize
important points.
3. Rearrange information into charts or visual notes to show
the big picture and the significant details.

– A Linear Learner
Left-Brain
– A Linear Learner
A Linear
Learner is a person who initially processes information through the left
hemisphere of the brain, which deals with logic, structured & verbal
information. The left hemisphere of the brain begins processing cognitive
activities that involve logical sequencing, such as lists or steps, predictable
patterns, verbal language (words), numbers& analytical thinking.
·
Prefers
information that provides him/her with specific details, clearly defined steps,
words, numbers& logical arguments.
·
Tend
to master information in the structured sequence in which it is presented.
·
Tend
to do well in straightforward, detail oriented lectures & with text books
that present information in a sequential, structured and clear manner.
·
Tend
to prefer learning situations in which concepts, terminology, facts, details,
applications, uses& conclusions are clearly presented.
·
In
courses that require problem solving, such as science or mathematics, linear
learners learn the fundamentals, such as problem-solving steps and then proceed
to apply the steps systematically to solve problems or answer questions.
Essential Strategies for Linear Learner
1. Ask for a
summary of important points at the end of an open-ended or discussion-oriented
class. List the significant points & the conclusions. After class, organize
the information into a more meaningful format or structure.
2. During
discussions, jot down the various points or opinions expressed. After class,
organize the information into more meaningful lists or in charts.
3. When
working with multiple sources of information, take notes from each source. Then
use your organizational skills to integrate the information logically
