A Study on Multicultural Mothers’ Comprehension and Satisfaction with Language Screening Test Applications by Type of Information Provision

Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to find out whether there is a significant difference in comprehension and satisfaction with language screening test application according to the information provision type (text, video). Methods: This study examined the difference in comprehension and satisfaction with Language Screening test Applications according to the type of information provision for 20 Vietnamese mothers (10 in the text group and 10 in the video group) who have lived in Korea for more than 5 years, and raised children in pre-school age. Results: First, there was no statistically significant difference in the interaction between the information provision type and the pre- and post-evaluation, but there was a statistically significant difference in the pre- and post-comprehension and satisfaction according to the type of information provision. Second, as a result of the pre-post-statistics of the subcategory of the comprehension questionnaire, the text group showed significant differences in 2 out of 6 categories and the video group in 5 out of 6 categories. Third, as a result of the pre-post-statistics of the subcategory of the satisfaction questionnaire, the text group showed significant differences in 4 out of 5 categories and the video group in 4 out of 5 categories. Conclusion: It was found that the type of information provision had a positive effect on comprehension and satisfaction. Furthermore, this study suggests that by increasing the accessibility of the screening test application, the possibility of early screening and early intervention for children from multicultural families can be increased.
