6. Scientific or scholarly significance of the study or work
First, teachers believe that they play a significant role in providing young children and their families with
high quality of diversity education in Korea. Otherwise, they indicated that they need more opportunities
and specific services for professional development employed by the Ministry of Education in Korea. Teachers
wanted to improve their knowledge for curriculum development, in-structional pedagogies, and teaching
contents & assessment in practices for diversity education linked to global ethics.
Second, the perceptions of early childhood teachers through the results of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd validation
of the intervention program model development are as follows. Early childhood teach-ers have difficulties
interacting with target children. The biggest reason was found to be low aware-ness and lack of information
among teachers about intervention programs and implementation meth-ods that can minimize the risk
factors for disability in children from multicultural families. Early childhood (special) teachers gave the
opinion that it is necessary to provide specific teaching meth-ods and operation methods for integrating or
paralleling the Nuri curriculum and individualized inter-ventional education.
Third, early childhood teachers are experiencing educational imbalances. The teachers pro-vide free
educational services with the same curriculum and program as children of their age even if risk factors for
disability are observed in young children from multicultural families, and are having difficulties in applying
appropriate educational support to them.
The integrated early intervention programs for young children at risk from multicultural fami-lies
should be developed so that it can be used more easily and conveniently suitable for the domes-tic social
and cultural situations. In addition, tools that can accurately select children with and with-out risk factors
for disability, specific manuals for the implementation of intervention programs, and teacher education
should be provided (Lee Sang-hee and Lee Young, 2017).
Finally, intervention services should be provided for at-risk children from multicultural fami-lies among
children with special needs who are not included within the scope of domestic social and legal supports
(refer to Article 14 of the Special Education Act) (Bong Gwi-Young and Lee So-Hyeon, 2013). Above all, it is
urgent to establish legal and educational systems that can minimize disability risk factors in a preventive
way. It is very important to make the foundation for early inter-vention in order to facilitate the holistic
development of children from multicultural families before and after elementary schooling.
