The Graduate Students’ Multiple Intelligence Profile and Their Education Routes
Öz
The determination and evaluation of the individual’s differences, skills and their deficient or competent areas should be seemed to be necessary for effective learning. With this regard, following study aimed to examine the multiple intelligence profiles of the graduate students at Karadeniz Technical University (K.T.U) Graduate School of Natural Science and to bring out the relation between their intelligence profiles and their graduate domain. In this framework, the sample of the study was comprised of total 160 graduate students educated at the Secondary Science and Mathematics Education, Computer and Instructional Technologies Education main domains during the 2008-2009 Fall semester. “Multiple Intelligence Self Evaluation Scale” was used as a data collection tool. After implementation of the scale, scores were transferred to the computer and statistical analyses were made by using SPSS 15.0 program. According to the results gained from students’ self evaluation with the Likert type scale, multiple intelligences profiles of graduate students at the domain of Science Education (SE), Mathematics Education (ME), Computer & Instructional Technologies Education (CITE) have enhanced at medium and above level. Results also indicated that there was a meaningful difference in four intelligence types (Interpersonal, Bodily-kinesthetic, Spatial, Naturalist) of the graduate students when comparing their domains with MI profiles. It was also concluded that interpersonal, bodily-kinesthetic and naturalist MI profiles in SE domain students were more advanced than the students in ME domain. On the other hand, spatial intelligence types of CITE students were more developed than the graduate students in ME domain.
