This study is for the effect on self-concept of elementary school students' by the work of peer counselor.
For this study, a class of fifth grade was chosen as an experimental group, and 10 of the students were chosen for the training as peer counselors. Control group was composed of a group which was testified as having same quality with experimental group for the self-concept test.
As for peer counselor training, I reconstructed mainly with the techniques of empathy, respect, and warmth, from the helping techniques which were suggested by Gazda, Asbury, Balzer, Childers, and Walters on Human Relations Development, on the basis of human relations training model of Carkhuff. The training was done two times a week, and each time was less than 60 minutes, and it was done total 10 times. One to one counseling method was done for peer counseling, and peer counseling works were done after 8th time of the peer counseling training.
The implement was GSCS(Genera1 Self-concept Scale) of Seok Joo Lee. The data collected by this implement was dealt by SPSS WIN(ver 8.0), and t-test was used to testify the significance of the scores. Through this process, the result was gotten as follows;
(1) The work of peer counselor is effective to change the self-concept of students positively. This means that to change the self-concept of the students positively, we can use high grade students of elementary school as peer counselor, after training.
(2) The work of peer counselors is effective on positive changing of peer counselors themselves' self-concept, as well as the other students.
Through this result, we can notice that to change each student's self-concept positively, peer counselor's activity should be used, as well as in elementary schools.
