다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The primary purpose of this study is to develop personality-education program to maintain and enhance feelings of self-esteem in elementary school. The research began from November 1st. 1999 and continued to October 31st, 2001. Also it was carried out by great help and positive cooperation of five elementary school teachers in Pusan and Kyung-gi Province.
The self-concept has a central role to play in personality organization. A person's self-concept may be viewed on a store of self-perceptions. These self-perceptions and built up in a gradual fashion through experience and particularly reflect the perceived reaction of other people. In elementary students, the reaction of teachers, parents and friends are of particularly importance.
While self-concept is taken to refer to the store of self-attributes of a person, self-esteem has been used to refer to the extent to which individuals regard these self-attributes in positive or negative terms. Self-esteem particularly has to do with feelings of adequacy and inadequacy and with feelings of self-worth. The self-esteem is total self-satisfaction which springs from sense of belongingness, competent feeling and worthwhile feeling. It is associated with the extent to which people feel they can live up to expectations they hold for themselves or that are held for them by parents and other important persons in their lives. It is also influenced by the extent to which they perceive themselves to be accepted and loved by other people.
A number of personality theorists have argued that the need to maintain and enhance feelings of self-esteem is one of the most basic of human needs and that people will go to considerable trouble to ensure that their feelings of self-esteem are not damaged.
In educational situations particular attention has been directed towards the study of achievement strivings and anxiety and their role in maintaining and enhancing feelings of self-esteem. Self-esteem may be maintained and enhanced by succeeding in classroom learning tasks. If the person is not able to achieve success and demonstrate competencies, the danger is that self-esteem will be eroded.
It is essential for teachers to recognize the very high need that elementary students have for praise and recognition. They want to please the teacher and to do well in school. When elementary students get positive recognition from their teachers, parents and friends, they tend to get higher feelings of self-esteem and to adjust well to school. this adjustment sets a positive pattern for their entire school career.
This paper suggests that personality education must pursue the humanization and happinization of students as new directions. It argues that in order to enhance self-esteem the theory of over-compensation has to replace the view of child which says "Genius displays itself even in childhood." In this paper, I set out 3 principles or ways to maintain and enhance self-esteem.
In conclusion, education is a value-laden activity. Therefore, I emphasize that a primary responsibility of the elementary teachers is to help children develop positive self-image and maintain and enhance higher positive feelings self-esteem without discontinuity.
The final personality-education program of enhancing higher positive feelings of self-esteem(PNUE. PHENIX) which this teacher accomplished was added as a supplement to this paper.
