This DURING the child to think more linear way. This means that your baby just think using the left brain, while the right brain can not be maximized.
How to optimize both the intellect? Based on research at the University of California, conducted by researchers in the field of medicine, Prof. Roger Sperry, the human brain consists of two parts, the right brain and left brain, each of which has a task or a different function.
Talking about the brain, it's certainly also talking about one's intelligence. Because human intelligence evolve with the development of human knowledge. Human intelligence is not fixed at birth, but can be developed throughout his life and has nothing to do with the age factor.
"Human intelligence can be honed," said Mind Map License Holders of International Special Education in Indonesia, Ir Drs Djohan Yoga, MSc MOT, BLI Ed as a speaker in a media event organized by Gathering ForumPR KPPL (Group of Companies Lippo) , Tuesday, 08.09, yesterday.
Why do many people who find it difficult to think systematically, planning, memorizing, understanding the reading, create reports, summaries or notes and to communicate well and clearly? The cause of all this is because we only use the left brain while the right brain that has many uses highly underutilized.
Djohan said, by nature, the human brain is designed to reflect a pattern of allowing radiant thinking stimulants. However, the natural design was marred by an educational system that tends to use a system of linear thinking that causes us used to think step by step which is much slower than thought radians.
"The children in Indonesia as a child was used in a linear pattern of thinking, so they think slower compared with children who use radiant thinking," he explained.
Therefore, think of a way radians from one point in any direction that allows the process of thinking can flow freely, so with that way of thinking will bring up many ideas as stimulants.
It can also be overcome by creating a tool of thought (thinking tools) that uses the left brain and right brain simultaneously and the synergistic mindmap created by Tony Buzan.
If the map according to Buzan's Mind Center, Center for the Mind Map in Canada explained that the mind map is a powerful graphic technique which provides a universal key to unlock the full potential of the human brain so that it can use all the existing capabilities in both the brain such as pictures, words , numbers, logic, rhythm and colors in a unique way.
"Mind map is a creative way of record, effective, and to map our thoughts, are interesting, easy and efficient," explained Engineer Chemical Engineering graduates are Bandung Institute of Technology.
For children, suggested by applying the techniques of Yoga should mind since early this folder. Since the beginning, this technique is considered suitable to be applied at the age of 9 years, but based on an experiment, it is a powerful technique applied to children aged 4 years.
"Children can be taught the mind map technique in 4 years of age, or any age for children who are able to recognize objects," said Yoga.
Experiments are performed on children with pre-school picnic to the zoo, they can apply the techniques when the mind map should describe the content in the zoo at that time. Technique used as a large sphere in tengahtengah paper, then separate the names of stars, which is divided into four-legged animals and two-legged animals.
Then the two-legged animals and these four-legged, given the branch to be subdivided into four-legged animals are wild and not wild and two-legged animals are wild and savage.
"From these experiments, known at the time the child turns out to explain what was in the zoo, they quickly mention what's on their minds after the mind are made with techniques map," he said.
From the mind map technique is applied early, it will also be carried in daily life, so to speak become more clear, solid, compact, and the concept.
Yoga is explained by the mind map technique has been widely used in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia also grew rapidly in 12 countries in Asia. In fact, used as curriculum in Malaysia and in the year 2011 would require the mind map-based education. While in Indonesia itself is partially used in some national plus school. One of them is Sekolah Pelita Harapan.
"We want a mind map as a national program in Indonesia. Because the lesson that too much, then Indonesia takes lessons in mind map," said Yoga was busy with the roadshow mentraining teachers in 20 cities with the number of about 300 schools in Indonesia held by the FMU. Roadshow also aims to help learn the students in Indonesia.
