Increasing Self-Concept and Self-Esteem While Teaching and Educating

           Schools are built for education development, but some people judge that schools’ purposes are just for teaching knowledge and improving intelligence, whereas there are other aspects that affect student development. They are self-concept and self-esteem. Self-concept and self-esteem give contributions for students to achieve as well as possible in school. They also give good influences for students to succeed and give a chance to improve their talent and become optimistic, so improving students’ self-concept and self-esteem in school is important.

           Self-concept and self-esteem are important values for student to encourage their learning activities. Self-esteem is positive or negative image of self that can make someone become optimistic if he/she has high self-esteem. Self-concept is a specific evaluation of self such as skills in academic or athletic (Santrock, 2008). High self-concept can encourage high self-esteem because if someone has good talents in some fields and he can improve his skills, he will feel that he has self worth as a human. He can show that his life is meaningful so he will be accepted in social context. Self-concept also related to achievement, in other words their relationship is strong and interdependent, (Choi (2005), as cited in Eggen & Kauchak, 2010). Students with high self-concept and self-esteem can performance well and they will be able to reach many achievements in school.
