Two-hemisphere driven approach: application for knowledge modeling

Two-hemisphere model driven (2HMD) approach assumes modeling and use of procedural and conceptual knowledge on an equal and related basis. This differentiates 2HMD approach from pure procedural, pure conceptual, and object oriented approaches. The approach may be applied in the context of modeling of a particular business domain as well as in the context of modeling the knowledge about the domain. In educational domain there are twofold application possibilities of 2HMD approach; firstly, in terms of modeling of knowledge to be taught and, secondly, in terms of modeling of educational process aimed at providing a particular knowledge reflected by the two-hemisphere model. Modeling of educational process by 2HMD approach gives an opportunity to transparently analyze and compare knowledge to be provided and knowledge actually provided by courses belonging to a particular study program, and, thus, to identify and fill the gaps between desirable and actual knowledge content
