Abstract :

Modifications applied when using Whole Brain, from the initial application of the left quadrant to the right, to the change from the right quadrant to the left. The formulation of research questions; What is the modified form of the Whole Brain model?, What are the learning outcomes obtained from the use of the modified Whole Brain model? Can the results obtained from the use of modified Whole Brain models be used as tangible evidence of neuroplasticity?. The researcher used a quantitative descriptive design. This design illustrates how the Reverse Whole Brain Model was used based on the respondents. The researcher uses a questionnaire to collect research data. The questionnaire was developed by the researcher using Slavin’s (1995) Theory of Effectiveness. Researchers also used the Trail Making Test as a data collection instrument. TCR (Respondent Achievement Level/Tingkat Capaian Responden) was used to analyze the questionnaire data. TMT-A was analyzed using parametric tests, and TMT-B was analyzed using nonparametric tests. The Reverse Whole Brain model is considered effective in teaching and learning. The results show that the application of this model in the Listening and Speaking II class is considered an appropriate learning model. It also concluded that the students experience neuroplasticity.
