The research method is qualitative, with the statistical population consisting of curriculum specialists, textbook authors, higher education planners, and experts in virtual and intercultural education. Using the snowball sampling method, 16 experts were selected. Data were analyzed using inductive content analysis with initial, axial, and selective coding. For determining validity and reliability, necessary reviews including acceptability (expert reviews), confirmability (expert reassessments), and intra-topic agreement were employed. According to the results, the final model comprises 9 elements, 14 dimensions, 23 components, and 92 indicators. In the Klein-based research model, the "Objective" element includes three components: cultural cohesion, educational justice, and familiarity with multicultural concepts.
