Are there two brains?The human brain has always been a mystery. For many years, researchers and scientists have embarked on the arduous task of understanding how the brain works. Even though they have succeeded in discovering new ideas and theories, there is still an overwhelming chasm of unknown. There is one theory that stands out most above all others, known as the right-brain-left-brain theory, which originated from the work of Roger W. Sperry and was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1981. Since then, scientific research have been conducted which suggest that the brain functions mostly as a whole rather than divided independently by two hemispheres. With all of these new discoveries emerging every day, many educators and scholars still believe in the right-brain-left-brain theory and have found ways to incorporate new teaching strategies centered around the idea that students are dominated by either side of the world. brain. According to Webb (1983), schools and society are more concerned with understanding the brain and thereby attempting to improve man's ability to learn, think, solve problems, and create (p. 508). Science has determined that the brain can be divided into two hemispheres and that the two hemispheres are connected by the corpus callosum. The corpus callosum is a body of nerve fibers that serves as a communication bridge between the two hemispheres. If science has already determined that the two hemispheres communicate with each other, why then do educators support the theory of one dominant side? For many years, classroom teachers have noticed that each student learns differently and also tends to have strengths in certain subjects while weaknesses in the middle of the article......retrieved December 21, 2013 from APA website http http://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2004/04/interhemispheric.aspxLeesmann, L.
