To date, there are many methods for adjusting self-determination, however, in order to change your image according to these methods, you must first determine at what level a person's self-esteem is.

About self-esteem

It is extremely difficult for a person with a low level of self-esteem to realize himself in life, he is hindered by a large number of complexes and self-doubt.

Checking the self-esteem of students. Tests


Afanasyeva Rimma Akhatovna, teacher of social studies, MKOU "Unyugan secondary school No. 1", Unyugan village, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra
Description: I bring to your attention four tests to determine the level of self-esteem of students with keys for processing. The teacher gives the key for processing to the students after they mark the answers to the questions in the test and calculate the number of points. The processing of the test results can be recorded on the board or on the presentation slide, if it is provided for the lesson.
Purpose: The tests are intended primarily for social science teachers, and will also be of interest to class teachers, psychologists, sociologists, parents and children.
Relevance: The relevance of these tests is due to the fact that most teachers and parents do not pay due attention to some aspects and characteristics of the individual. One such factor is self-esteem. The dynamics of self-esteem will help not only improve your results in the learning process, but also establish your position in society. Such social factors as relationships with others, criticality, exactingness towards oneself, attitude to successes and failures depend on self-esteem. Self-esteem affects the further development of the individual and the effective activity of a person. Incorrect evaluation of oneself occurs due to a discrepancy in the capabilities of a person. Often this is the main reason for inappropriate behavior (emotional breakdowns, increased anxiety, and more). An objective expression of self-esteem is manifested in how a person evaluates the skills and achievements of others (having an overestimated self-esteem, a person begins to underestimate the results of others). In our time, improving the quality of education and assimilation of knowledge continues to be relevant. In order to identify the causes of student failure, it is necessary to take into account the student's personal characteristics. Undoubtedly, self-esteem has the greatest effect on learning success at any school age.
Target: reveal the dynamics of self-esteem in the process of learning and personality formation of a teenager.
Tasks: select methods for studying self-esteem of schoolchildren; interpret the data obtained, conduct an analysis; formulate conclusions based on the test results obtained.
Preparation and material: the teacher prepares a test to test the self-esteem of students, thinks over the processing of the results and how he will provide the children with a key to the test result.
