A total of 400 people were selected by stratified random sampling. The data collection tool included two researcher-made questionnaires. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression in SPSS ver. 25.ResultsThe results showed a positive and significant relationship between individual, educational, social and cultural factors with Gardner's five minds, so that these four factors simultaneously (R2adj = 422) explain the variance of the five minds. Moreover, the most important predictors of the five minds of student teachers are individual factors (β = 0.266, p = 0.001), social factors (β = 0.229, p = 0.001), and educational factors (β = 0.20, p =0.001), and cultural factors (β= 0.166, p = 0.001), respectively.ConclusionBased on the research results, individual, educational, social factors and cultural factors were the predictors of five minds among the student teachers.
