Introduction

The formation of a socially active, moral, realizing their individual abilities - the main objectives of education, successful solution of which depends on the direction and pace of reform of school life. One of the urgent problems facing teachers of the modern school is a psychological-pedagogical dualism with regard to developing personality - training and education is not always based on knowledge about the psychology of child development and the formation of his personality.

Analyzing the various studies should be noted that the central feature of any individual is a self-assessment, which is relatively stable and conscious system of ideas of personality about himself, on the basis of which a person builds a relationship to itself and its interaction with other people.

Part and parcel of the assessment is self-esteem. Self-assessment - assessment of the personality itself, its appearance, the place among other people, its qualities and capabilities. Self-esteem is a core backbone of individual personality, which largely determines the position of human life, the level of its claims, the entire system of ratings. Self-esteem affects the formation of a style of behavior and human activity. In other words, self-esteem largely determines the dynamics and direction of development of the subject.

The age of educational psychology and primary school age has a special place: in this age mastered learning activities, formed the arbitrariness of mental functions, there are reflection, self-control, and the actions begin to relate to the internal plan.

Chapter 1. The problem of evaluation and self-esteem in modern psychology 1.1 Self-assessment of personality as a psychological category

The concept of self-esteem was included in the dictionary Russian teacher - in the early 80's. But the study of the psychological structure was carried out long ago.

What is self and what role it plays in mental life of children of primary school age?

Self-esteem - is the result, the final product of self-consciousness, is a system of representations of a person about himself, which includes three components.

The first component - the words, usually adjectives, to which we resort to describe the features of his character, the composite personality traits. For example, "sociable", "cunning", "strong", "patient", etc.

The second component - self-esteem, emotional - affective score of the representation that we make about yourself.

The third component - the behavioral response, ie specific actions that can be called as "I" and self-esteem.

According to Robert Burns, self-esteem includes the following three components:

Cognitive component - the presentation of the child about himself, as a rule, seem to him convincing in their opinion, whether they are true or false. Describing some man, we usually resort to using adjectives: "reliable," "sociable," "strong," "conscientious," etc. All these abstract characteristics that are not linked to specific events or situations. As elements of the generalized image of the individual they represent, on the one hand, the stable trend in his behavior, but on the other - the selectivity of our perception. The same thing happens when we describe ourselves: we try to express in words the main characteristics of our self - perception. They can transfer up to infinity, since they include any attribute, role, status, and psychological characteristics of an individual, a description of the property, life goals, etc. The significance of the elements of self and their respective hierarchies may vary depending on the context of life experience of an individual or just a spur of the moment. This kind of self - is a way to characterize the uniqueness of each individual through a combination of individual features.

Estimated component - the qualities that we ascribe to the self, are not necessarily objective, and probably they were not always willing to accept other people. It may be that only age, sex, height, occupation and some other data with sufficient cogency, not cause controversy.

For the most part trying to describe myself, as a rule, there is a strong personality, the estimated time. In other words, self-esteem - is not just a statement, a description of his personality traits, but also the totality of their performance appraisal and related experiences. ............
