Brain Synchronization Theory
Related to:NETS-T-2b
This Brain Synchronization Theory has been at the focus of my research since 1986. It is explained in the Journal of Creative Behavior (vol 20, no.3) in an article titled: “Right (or Left) Brain Cognition, Wrong Metaphor for Creative Behavior: It is the Prefrontal Lobe Volition That Makes the (Human/Humane) Difference in the Release of Creative Potential.”
In the context of my “Brain Synchronization Theory,” I will be conducting action research involving a course that I am planning to offer in the 2011 Summer Session at the School of Education. This artifact was chosen to give readers a visual depiction of the theory that undergirds this research as well as a brief sketch of my objectives and the three major phases of my study. This artifact is tied most closely with NETS-T-2b because the standard and the theory both speaks to issues of volition and self-efficacy. In this artifact you will meet the 3-D students who populate my classes. You will learn what I believe about the brain’s capabilities and the terms psychologists use to describe the potentials of students. You will read about the study I pan to conduct and the learning modality instrument and the volitional instruments I will be using in my research. You will see visual depictions of the types of synchronizations the brain must experience for creative potential to be released. [Bottom to Top Synchronization is required for affective competency development. Left to Right Synchronization is needed for cognitive development. Back to Front Synchronization is important for volitional development.] Finally, you will find a quotation that sums up the philosophical tenets of my research.
