Abstract

Unlike general parent education programs, this study aims to develop a parent education program for specialized foster care parents who raise children with special needs. To this end, the ADDIE model, an educational program development procedure, was used to analyze FGI, expert advisory meetings, and existing home-consigned parent education programs for working-level officials at the Foster Care Center. As a result of the study, the expert foster parent education program aimed at motivation, professionalism, and strengthening relationship competency, and the understanding of the expert foster system, special needs, foster parent coaching, and family and community partnerships. The entire education program consisted of 20 hours. As a result of applying the developed education program to professional entrusted parents, satisfaction with the composition and content of the education program averaged 4.9 out of 5(99% response rate), and specifically, "foster care child psychology" and "role of foster families" were positively evaluated. This study is meaningful in that it provided a standard parental education program for the nationwide spread of the specialized foster care system.
