The purpose of this qualitative study was to determine if multiple intelligences were exhibited by preschool children between the ages of two and four while attending a child care center in western Nebraska.
The research goals for this qualitative study were to discover whether preschool children exhibited preferences for multiple intelligences (especially the seven intelligences identified by Howard Gardner) and if those preferences parallel a specific style of learning (especially the 4MAT learning style model developed by Bernice McCarthy).
