Abstract

Background: Understanding the style of learning and thinking (SOLAT) of the students is necessary to keep students actively involved in learning, which could influence the academic performance of the students. Aim: The objective of this study was to compare the right and left hemisphere preferences for processing information with academic performance of medical students in both theory and practical exams. Materials and Methods: The hemispheric preference score for learning and thinking style among first year MBBS (95) and BDS (42) students was determined by SOLAT tool prepared by Dr. V. Venkataraman (1994). A comparison of the hemispheric score between high achievers and low achievers in theory and practical exams was performed by using the unpaired Student's t-test and Mann–Whitney U-test. Results: The mean hemispheric scores for the right hemisphere, left hemisphere, and whole brain were 26.51, 14.5, and 6.76, respectively. High achievers in theory exam and practical exam received a higher left-hemispheric score and whole-brain score than low achievers; the difference in the mean value of hemispheric score was statistically not significant. Conclusion: There was no statistically significant relationship between academic achievement and hemispheric preference scores.

医学和牙科临床前医学生半球偏好得分与学习成绩的关系。

背景：了解学生的学习风格和思维方式是保持学生积极参与学习的必要条件，这可能会影响学生的学习成绩。目的：本研究的目的是比较医学生在理论和实践考试中对信息处理的左右半球偏好与学习成绩。材料和方法：采用V.Venkataraman博士（1994）编制的SOLAT工具测定了MBBS（95）和BDS（42）一年级学生对学习和思维方式的半球偏好得分。采用未配对的Student’s t检验和Mann-Whitney U检验对理论和实践考试中成绩优异者和成绩较差者的半球得分进行了比较。结果：右半球、左半球和全脑的平均半球得分分别为26.51、14.5和6.76。理论考试和实践考试成绩好的学生左半球和全脑得分高于成绩差的学生；半球评分平均值差异无统计学意义。结论：学习成绩和半球偏好得分之间没有统计学上的显著关系。
