The purpose of this study is to confirm the effect of the child abuse prevention education program on the promotion of the intention to report child abuse. Subjects of experimental group watched VOD with child abuse prevention instruction developed by this researcher in 2019, and those in contrast group watched VOD with child abuse prevention instruction spread by Central- Child Protection Agency in 2016. All advance tests of both groups were taken from the 17th to 30th of August in 2019 and participants joining in each others' program were asked to participate in this program education and take the post-test after watching VODs for 10 whole days (from September 27th to October 6th in 2019). I used SPSS 18.0 for analyzing data, and three-way mixed ANOVA. According to this study, the experimental group offered child-abuse prevention instruction developed by this researcher showed that all the scores of intention to report child abuse rose meaningfully higher toward both the cases that can be recognized strongly and weakly to be child-abuse than the contrast group trained with existing child-abuse prevention instruction. and I confirmed that this program has an effect on child abuse prevention instruction through on-line.
