If student who learned social education wouldn`t acts as democratic citizen, this social education must reexamine its nature and structure. However, in recent times, the korea social education encounter criticism that it have been to fail in promoting citizen`s executive abilities. The purpose of this paper is to investigate internal reasons of that failure and provide its alternative directions. the results of investigation is as follows. The existing korea social education will be divide as life-centered social education, social science-centered social education, thinking-centered social education. In them, social science-centered social education and thinking-centered social education have formal or de-contextural characteristic in knowledge and thinking and that characteristic seems to be a internal reason of failure to promote citizen`s executive abilities. According to social practice theories, the citizen`s executive abilities is increased by participation in civil practice rather than education of formal or de-contextural knowledge and thinking. Emphasizing student`s action and participation in life, life-centered social education will contribute to promote citizen`s executive abilities.
