Özet: Multigrade classrooms practices are applied in many different regions around the world, and these practices continue in our country. Combined classes are based on the principle of teaching different groups together by a single teacher. As such, educational activities in these classes continue in different structures and at different levels. In this framework, it is an important issue to carry out educational activities at the desired level, in the desired quality and in an efficient manner. Due to the importance given above, this study aimed to identify the problems experienced in practice through the eyes of classroom teachers working in joined classrooms. In order to determine the importance of the detected problems, an application was carried out on classroom teachers working in Giresun. DEMATEL, the Multi Criteria Decision Making Methods (MCDV), was used to overcome these deficiencies, which are considered to be a complex problem. According to the analysis results obtained from the DEMATEL method, the most important factors were "Excessive Workload of Teachers" and Difficulty of Managing Classes. The least important unified classroom problems were found to be "Inexperienced Teachers Serving" and "Lack of Resources Needed".
