| Popis: | 107 In recent years, elementary school teachers are facing challenges of the students with negative self-concepts. These students tend to have difficulties getting along with their peers by blaming or picking fights with others when failing to achieve the goals they set. If these students cannot resolve negative emotions, it will lead to damaged relationships with their peers, and lead to the imbalance of interpersonal relationships. According to the discussion with the teacher-counselor, we find that very few picture books cover self-concept in this filed. The purpose of this research can be divided into three parts. First, create funny and exaggerated storylines to help children explore the motivation behind the story, so children can relate to the characters and establish emotional links. Secondly, incorporate different interactions of the characters to facilitate children to find a positive way to communicate to build positive relationships. Finally, use the picture book to assist the teacher-counselor to help students explore self-concept, interpersonal issues, and develop a positive self-concept and communication skills. The creation of this picture book is based on Children Psychology and Development; it shows children’s self-concept is susceptible to the judgements of their peers. Negative judgements can lead to negative self-concepts if not solved properly. This picture book incorporated students’ daily life into the storyline to help the teacher-counselor guild the students through the main character’s three failure events and discuss the reasons and the results via the dialogue between the characters. This can reinforce the self-worth for the pupils despite failure, reinforce a positive attitude, and build self-confidence to enhance a positive self-concept. In addition, students will be able to learn how to get along with other students from the content of conflicts and learn to be positive and kind toward others’ mistakes to build good relationships. The creation of this picture book is based on the iPad drawing. The teacher-counselor can guide students to read the book with 32 pages of the text. There are 44 questionnaires of feedback from the 4th-grade elementary school students. We found that students can learn positive self-concept through the way the main characters cope with frustration and failure after reading this picture book. And they can learn how to understand each others and establish good relationships. |
