Title: | Facilitating Children's Self-Concept: A Rationale and Evaluative Study | Contributor(s): | Hay, Ian (author) | Publication Date: | 2005 | DOI: | 10.1375/ajgc.15.1.60 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/8564 | Abstract: | This study reports on the design and effectiveness of the Exploring Self-Concept program for primary school children using self-concept as the outcome measure. The program aims to provide a procedure that incorporates organisation, elaboration, thinking, and problem-solving strategies and links these to children's multidimensional self-concept. The results of this research support the notion that teachers and guidance counsellors need to establish a nonthreatening framework that allows them to discuss with children a range of relevant issues related to peer pressure, parent relations, self-image, body image, gender bias, media pressure, values and life goals, in a systematic, objective and cooperative manner. Within the paper, notions associated with self-concept maturation, 'crystallisation' of self-concept beliefs, cognitive differentiation and self-concept segmentation are reviewed. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Australian Journal of Guidance and Counselling, 15(1), p. 60-67 | Publisher: | Australian Academic Press | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1037-2911 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130305 Educational Counselling | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 930104 Moral and Social Development (incl.
