The 4MAT teaching model is actually defined as a beyond-model because it is a way of organizing around
the concept that should be acquired by taking the elements of knowledge into the center. Moreover, this model is
considered to be appropriate to construct other educational operations such as Bloom’s Taxonomy and
cooperative learning. Indeed, successful implementation of 4MAT requires the teachers to be aware of several
learning strategies. The teachers should form their conceptual objectives, hold respect for the differences of the
students and arrange a classroom environment that will take them to the essence of the concept (McCarthy &
McCarthy, 2003). Hence, McCarthy claims that 4MAT can be applied best provided that the skills of the
teachers are developed and the education is structured in a way that is suitable for multiple methods so that the
students will receive every style of leaning (McCarthy & Leflar, 1983). The fact that he puts forward that Jung’s
type theory constitutes a bond between learning and teaching styles has made him design his measure of learning
type in order to understand teachers’ personal styles. The 4MAT system has two important priorities. The first
one is: “That human beings have got learning styles and preferences to make half hemispheric operations”. The
second one is: “Designing and using multiple educational strategies in a systematic environment so as to teach
these preferences can develop teaching and learning” (Bıkmaz, 2002).
