THE ROLE OF TEACHERS IN BUILDING STUDENTS’ CONFIDENCE AND THE SIGNIFICANE OF THE MESSAGE “YOU WORTH IT”

Abstract

Self-confidence is shaped and acquired from early childhood and affects success in school, social and family relationships. The role of the teacher is very important in the formation of self-confidence. The goal of this work is for teachers to understand the importance of developing self-confidence in students, to see techniques and ways to gain self-confidence that they can use in their work, as well as to recognize their own “power” for instilling a positive attitude in students about themselves. The work focuses on how teachers can build an active relationship with students with varying levels of self-confidence and foster trust and communication. The teacher can use the suggested ideas and motivational messages in his daily work with students, but he can also see his own mistakes, insufficient commitment or neglect of the importance of this topic.
