It has been mainly the social and moral departments that put forward civic education. However, as our society democratized, the Korean Democratic Civic Education Association was established, and the discussion about the institutionalization of democracy education began in the 1990s. In the 2000s, the history education community actively discussed “democratic education in history classes” as they suffered from the Kumsung Publishing Co. text trial, the “liberal democracy” scandal in the curriculum and writing standards, the Kyohaksa textbook approval, and the pain from the transition of high school history textbooks to state affairs. However, there were concerns that these changes might lead to a “history-free history education.” However, democratic education, which is being actively discussed now, seems to be mainly focused on the democratization of politics including the May education materials, which had been published in Gwangju and South Jeolla Province. However, the democratization of daily lives is just as important as political democratization. The term “democratic” literally means "public" and the public should be able to own his own life. In addition, since individuals must live together as members of a “society” each student should develop the ability to live an independent life in the democratic society, as well as the character of caring and respecting others. This is not that much different from the democratic citizen training that we have done so far. It would be better to strengthen democratic civic education that has been done so far through history education, not through a new “democratic civic education.” In our society, which forces infinite competition, democratic civic education will be provided to help students live with respect and consideration for each other. In this manuscript, we looked into the May 18 Democratic Movement and the Democratic Civic Education in Gwangju and South Jeolla Province, focusing on educational materials published by the May 18 Memorial Foundation and the Jeollanam-Do Office of Education and distributed to middle and high schools. Until now, it is believed that values pursued in democratic civic education in Gwangju and South Jeolla Province have been naturally achieved through the May 18 Democratic Movement. A free discussion class using “the May 18 Democratic Movement in South Jeolla Province” published in 2019 is also introduced.
