(3) The supporting contexts for children from multi-cultural family. (4) The supporting contexts for parents from multi-cultural family. (5) Self-efficacy concerning caring and teaching for children from multi-cultural family. As important results, although teachers have interest in teaching and caring children from multi-cultural family, they also lack of the knowledge and understanding of the children when comparing their interest.
