Going "Back to Basics" in Mathematics Won't Prove Who's "Right," but Who's "Left" (Brain Duality and Mathematics Learning).
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Elliott, Portia C. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1980
The aims of the article are: (1) to outline the general tenets of the "back to basics" movements; (2) to indicate how these tenets go counter to emerging research on hemispheric specialization; and (3) to suggest methods which are brain-compatible and likely to produce competent creative problem solvers.
