A STUDY ON VALIDITY OF THE INTEGRATED INTERVENTION PROGRAM MODEL
FOR AT-RISK CHILDREN FROM MULTICULTURAL FAMILIES

Ph.D.
Abstract.
The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of an integrated intervention program
model for at-risk children (four to five years old) from multicultural families. In order to develop the
intervention program model, tests for contents and field validity were taken in three steps including whole
development procedure. The reliability of the whole model development
process was secured through
the triangulation of data collection, development participants, and methodology. Findings from the results
showed reliability and validity of the intervention program developed in this study. First, the validity tests
of the entire intervention program model were implemented by three different ways: the quantitative data
analysis from the surveys, qualitative data analysis from telephone interviews, and qualitative data analysis
form pilot tests (interventional fidelity). As a result, an integrated intervention program model and twelve
intervention activity plans were developed in this study. Second, the early childhood teachers’ perceptions
of intervention activities presented by the validity tests shows that the teachers were experiencing many
difficulties in planning and implementing intervention programs due to low understanding and lack
of information about at-risk children from multicultural families.
In addition, for the practical uses of
intervention, the teachers recognized that it is important to develop appropriate
intervention programs
and educational supports for the children. Finally, the participants in this study explained that the effective
integrated intervention program is characterized as friendly subjects to the target children and the
application of both groups and individualized activities regarding the children’s different developmental
levels and risk factors of developmental delay and disabilities. Based on the results, this study suggested
ways for activation of intervention services for at-risk children from multicultural families.
Key words: young children
from multicultural families, at-risk children,
intervention program model,
validity, triangulation.
