The cybernetics of learning mathematics and computer sciences

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to present a classification of students according to their hemispheric‐related cognitive stile.

Design/methodology/approach

Reviewing of former studies and correction of conceptual mistakes in a reviewed former study.

Findings

The required classification is possible, and a battery of tests has been developed.

Practical implications

This research is applicable for choosing for each individual student the teaching approach most suiting this student.

Originality/value

The suggested classification method is new. It may prevent learning problems like dyslexia and dyscalculia, and it may increase the learning level of the entire population.
