This research was quasi-experimental in design, making use of a One-Group Pretest-Posttest Time-Series Design. The samples were eighteen Kindergarten-2 students in the 6th Cycle of Commemoration School. The method of study consisted of 3 phases, namely, construction, field test and revision of the program. The research duration was 10 weeks. The research instrument was a test of natural disaster preparedness behavior for kindergarteners. The data was statistically analyzed by using the arithmetic mean, standard deviation, repeated measures ANOVA and t-test.</p> <p>The research results were as follows: 1) After the experiment, the natural disaster preparedness behavior mean scores of the samples were higher than before the experiment at a .01 significance level.  2) After the experiment, the kindergarteners’ natural disaster preparedness behavior through participation in program had increased by 93.23 percent, which is higher than before the experiment at a .01 significance level. The program was made up of principles, objectives, features, content, implementation procedure and evaluation. Features of the program consisted of 3 content time frames for each disaster:</p> <p>1) Before disaster 2) During disaster 3) After disaster. There were 4 instructional processes: 1) Making wonder 2) Developing understanding 3) Learning discussion 4) Evaluation of knowledge and understanding.</p>}, number={2}, journal={An Online Journal of Education}, author={Chandrasakha, Valaiporn and Jaruchainiwat, Panutsorn}, year={2020}, month={Sep.}, pages={OJED1502005 (13 pages)} }
