self-concept
Eureka Education . The concept itself is one of the aspects of psychosocial development of students that must be drawn from a teacher into consideration. This is because the concept of self is a variable that affects the educational process at school. Already many probation on this perception, the many students who have difficulty understanding a lesson, because students are negative view of their abilities as well as deviations attitudes in students due to perceptions and negative attitude of the student.
Seifert and hope in Desmita (2010: 163) defines "self-concept as an understanding of self or ideas about themselves". Atwater in Desmita (2010: 163) states that "the concept of self, a sense of self that includes the perception of the self, feelings, beliefs and values that are associated with it." It can be said that the concept of self is the perception or the perception of their abilities in action.
For a better understanding of the concept of self, it is necessary to understand the components that make the concept of self. After Gunawan (04: 19), self-concept consists of three components, namely:
- Yourself Ideal - ideal self largely the determine the direction of our lives. Ideal itself is a representation of a character who wanted very much admired and to make us like the person. When choosing someone who is a self-ideal standard for us because, consciously or unconsciously be careful, we ourselves have established our ideal as such person.
- self-image, - Our self-image is the way we look at ourselves and think about us now or today. For example, if we can see ourselves as confident, calm and learn well, every time learning, feel, we are confident, calm and capable.
- price self - Self-esteem is a component that is emotional, and it is the most important part of our attitude and personality to determine. Self-esteem is the spirit, enthusiasm and self-motivation determine which will have an impact on the performance and success of a person.
The three components of self-concept to influence each other in a positive self-concept form. Ideal itself will determine the course of life, growth and development itself. The self-image is how we look at ourselves and determine the current performance. Then high self-esteem is a fundamental positive self-concept and is the most important element for the success rate of a person.
The concept itself divided into three forms. After Atwater in Desmita (2010: 164), three forms of self-concept, including:
- Body Image , awareness of his body, that is, how a person sees himself itself.
- Ideal self , which, as the ideals and expectations of someone about yourself is.
- Social Self , which is how others see views of their abilities or the way itself.
, the shape of the three self-concept has a major impact on the success of a person, that is, body image, where there is someone someone saw their physical appearance such as whether it was nice or beautiful, attractive or unattractive, intelligent or less intelligent, and so on. Ideal self , that the expectations of a in the future or ideals. This is a great impact on a person's performance, in which he intended to achieve the expectations and ideals that were set. Social self a relationship or interaction between humans and their environment, which will affect the process of formation of self-concept.
"The concept itself is not directly, if a person is born into the world, but a series of processes that of today" to develop and to distinguish individuals will continue to it revealed through Tarwoto in Setyo and Yuli (150 2012). The concept of self is not genetic or innate, but are formed by a process. The self-concept is formed with the growth and development of the person through interaction with parents, families along, and the environment.
attitude or reaction of the parents and the environment would be essential information for children be to form their personality. Therefore, a child must be in a state education aid and the state. If a child on the environmental conditions, the negative does not support or parenting, the students tend to have a negative self-concept, but if the environmental behavior and a positive attitude, then the students will feel feel appreciated and grow a positive self-concept. After Slameto (2010: 184), of studies Paderson (1960) and Dhahran (1967) shows that:
"Teacher, the strong one impact on self-concept of students, teachers can enhance or suppress. teacher or teachers must understand the conditions of the students, and to understand the importance of education, is actually to make events that a student can lower be avoided, and the teacher must build an atmosphere of a school environment to help students develop a positive self-concept helps "
According to Burns Desmita (2010: 164),". the concept of self is the relationship between attitudes and beliefs about ourselves. " The concept itself is how we see ourselves personally. If we believe that we are able, our attitudes and actions are to be in accordance with what is believed to be by ourselves.
go The concept itself in the subconscious and affect the level of consciousness of a person at a time. The better or positive self-concept the easier it is to achieve success. Since the self-concept of good or positive, someone to be optimistic, dare to try new things, to dare to succeed, and also dare to fail, confident, enthusiastic, sense of self-worth, dare to risk the life goals, as well as act and think positively.
Conversely, the poor or negative self-concept, it becomes more difficult for someone to be successful. Because with a negative self-concept or bad will lead to growing insecurity, fear of failure, so do not dare to try things that are new and challenging, to low self-esteem feel stupid, worthless, pessimistic, and feel a variety of feelings and behaviors inferior more.
on the description of the concept of self-concept, according to experts, one can say that the concept of self-view the whole picture or is their skills his, appearance, social relations and others. The self-concept has an impact on student performance. But studies show a strong positive relationship between self-concept learning performance in school. Students who have a positive self-concept, a good performance at school, or high-achieving students in the school have a high self-assessment, and demonstrate positive interpersonal relationships as well as shows. They also show independence in learn , so it does not rely on the teacher completely
