Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the common brain dominance
(BD) and lateral preference (LP) among physical education students at
Kadoorie university and determine the relationship between (BD) and
(LP), in addition to determine the differences in (BD) pattern and (LP)
according to gender and academic specialization variables. To achieve that
the study was conducted on a random sample that consisted of (112) male
and female students. to gather data, the researchers used (Diane, 2005)
scale for measuring (BD) and (Kashihara, 1979) scale for measuring (LP).
The results revealed that the common pattern of (BD) for the students was
integrated brain hemisphere dominance and their pattern of (LP) was right
lateral. Also, there were statistically significant differences in (BD)
according to academic specialization variable in favor of the diploma, and
no significant relationship between (BD) and (LP). The researchers
recommended to interest in the development of physical education
curricula in Palestinian universities and schools.
Keywords: Brain dominance, lateral preference, physical education.
