Effects of Aulim programs for school violence prevention on Preschool Cildrend`s pro-social behavior

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of the Aulim program on prosocial behavior in Seven-year-old children. The study was conducted with 56 Seven-year-old children enrolled in a private kindergarten in Y City, using a teacher-administered prosocial behavior assessment before and after the implementation of the program. For data analysis, one-way ANOVA and ANCOVA were performed using SPSS 25.0. The results showed that children who participated in the Aulim program exhibited significant improvements in prosocial behavior, particularly in the subdomains of sharing, helping, empathy, self-regulation, and leadership, compared to both the control and comparison groups. These findings highlight the necessity for active implementation of the Aulim program in early childhood education settings. Furthermore, the results suggest the need for developing early childhood education programs that utilize the characteristics of the Aulim program, enhancing teachers' professional competencies, establishing developmentally appropriate terminology, and fostering cooperation with parents.
