Building self-confidence in elementary school students

Abstract

Educational attainment in particular can be measured in the process of teaching and learning activities in educational institutions, including increasing students' feelings of self-confidence. Armed with feelings of self-confidence, every child can be encouraged to become a good person in the sense of not deviating from the applicable rules. Children who have self-confidence can certainly accept themselves, are happy when given a challenge, are willing to try new things even though they are aware that mistakes can happen, and tend to be more successful in what they want to achieve. On the other hand, children who do not have self-confidence will become timid when faced with challenges, shy and hesitant in communicating ideas, afraid to make choices, and most often compare themselves with others. Therefore, students' personality development must be formed from an early age and must follow gradual processes and activities, this is done so that they get used to it in their daily lives.
