The purpose of this research is to construct young children’s community civic consciousness edification program, apply it to the classroom, then recognize how it affects young children’s social competence. We have constructed the program through a preparatory stage and a demand analysis stage. At the preparatory stage, we have considered relative literature to verify the necessity of the research, and with this, the content elements and teaching-learning methods have been selected. Then we have carried out research on the actual conditions for development of the program in the demand analysis stage, and have confirmed the demands and expectations of the program through interviews with the teachers. Finally, in the organization stage, we have constructed the program content system, and developed specific activities. Also, in order to verify the constructed program, we have constructed the final program through content analysis and its validity process by specialists. Through these three stages, we have presented a model by presenting objects and goals, content, teaching-studying methods and valuations. Social competence inspection, which is based on the social adoption activity development inspection method developed for the real situations of our country by Lee Young Ja, Lee Jong Suk, and Yang Ok Seung (1988), were carried out after the amendment and complement process on 44 infants (23 infants in the experiment group, and 21 infants in the comparison group) from 2 classes for 5 year olds, from K-kindergarten and S-kindergarten which are located in Dongjak-gu, Seoul. The comparison group was inspected with a program which reconstructed the subject of ordinarily performing program to suit K-kindergarten, and the experiment group was executed with community civic consciousness edification program. After the end of the program, we have executed the after the fact inspection on the experiment group and the comparison group, which is the same method of the preliminary inspection.
