This study examined the effectiveness of an Emotional Education Curriculum. The subjects were 55 five-year-old children attending a kindergarten located in Kangbuk-gu, Seoul. Using the pre- and post-test model, the Thinking, Feeling, Behaving Curriculum was employed two to three times a week for 15 weeks in the experimental group. Data were analyzed by t-test and ANOVA. This study indicates that the Thinking, Feeling, Behaving Emotional Education Curriculum was effective in understanding young children`s emotional self-perception and empathy, but the curriculum was only partially effective in improving young children`s social behaviors.
