Based on these findings and expert judgments, the study designs a training model to develop prospective preschool teachers’ multicultural competence which has the following sequence: systematic reflection, Socratic dialog, simulation, field practice, and reflection. The study also provides some recommendations on the inclusion of multicultural content into intracurricular and/or extracurricular activities as well as on testing and analyzing the effectiveness of the hypothetical training model resulted from this study.

The results showed that the use of POE strategy was able to improve the students' comprehension on the concept of states of matter and their changes either at macroscopic level (N-gain 0.32, p=0.00), submicroscopic level (verbal N-gain 0.44; p=0.00, and visual Ngain 0.49; p=0.00), or symbolic level (N-gain 0.41; p= 0.00). The acquired N-gain indicated the need for further research to improve the course program of states of matter and their changes using the POE strategy to obtain higher N-gain that indicates the need for improvement of the program, including the processes and aids of the course.
