How effective is 'whole brain teaching'?

— News-Democrat

Even though the instructional delivery method called whole brain teaching has been in existence for more than a decade, no research-based studies have been done on its effectiveness, according to David Brobeck, a graduate-level professor at Walsh University in North Canton, Ohio.
However, teachers including at Abraham Lincoln Elementary School in Belleville and college professors across the country praise whole brain teaching, where students are encouraged to be actively engaged and teachers assign gestures to concepts to help students remember them. A critic of the teaching method says it doesn't facilitate higher-level thinking and analysis.
Chris Biffle created the concept of whole brain teaching in 1999 with fellow teachers Jay Vanderfin and Chris Rekstad in California.

Three basic techniques in whole brain teaching

The class yes, the teach OK and the scoreboard


In an article which I wrote for ajarn.com I introduced a wonderful system of teaching called "Whole Brain Teaching" (WBT) in which I outlined the fundamental techniques it uses. For those of you who have not read the article, WBT is a pedagogical approach which is based on current research into brain activity and how we learn. Not specific but very applicable to EFL , WBT uses techniques which activate both hemispheres of the brain - thus it is a "Whole Brain" approach.
Traditionally education has focused on right brain activity - the reasoning, rational part of the brain. WBT techniques seek to make connections between this rational part of the brain and the left side of the brain which is concerned with creative activity . It is being proven more and more that an approach which integrates these two different activities of the brain leads to far more effective teaching. We will today look at three of the most basic techniques involved in WBT: "THE CLASS-YES", "THE TEACH-OK", and "THE SCOREBOARD". These are three amazingly simple techniques you can quickly learn and immediately use to greatly improve your effectiveness as a teacher.
