Abstract: | Conclusion In general terms the study indicates for the three schools examined the relationship between the academic grade of junior
secondary advanced science students and creative right hemispheric thinking is weak, but the relationship between the student's
grade and rational logical thinking is much stronger.
It may be that such relationships are a natural consequence of maturation and not related to the work done in the school.
Most educators would feel that the school system has some effect.
If each child is going to realise one's full thinking potential, it is important that the creative and holistic modes of thinking
be developed. In a future world which will be immersed in rapid change the need for this type of thinking is even more acute. |
