Abstract

The aim of the current study was to find out the purposes of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade teachers to determine their students’ multiple intelligences profiles. The study was a qualitative research. Criterion sampling method was used to select the participants of the study. The data were collected from six teachers, three psychologists, two sociologists, and one child neurologist using interviews, observation forms, and researcher’s notes. The findings indicated that the teachers determine their students’ multiple intelligences in order to (1) know students’ characteristics affected by multiple intelligences in depth and detail; (2) learn students’ weaknesses and strengths in terms of multiple intelligences; (3) assist students by activating their dominant intelligences to handle problems; (4) inform stakeholders (branch teachers, parents, school counselors etc.) about students’ multiple intelligences profiles; (5) manage class in accordance with students’ multiple intelligences profiles; (6) comprehend principles of MIT; (7) suggest leisure time activities according to students’ dominant intelligences.
