Educational methods for fostering self-affirmatives

Reexamination of self-affirmatives scale

Abstract

Fostering self-affirmative must take place throughout school education activities, not just in specific areas of education activities. The aim of this study was to develop a cross-disciplinary training program for self-affirmative by approaching self-affirmative from the three areas of educational counseling, extracurricular activities, and moral education. Self-affirmative must be fostered throughout educational activities. Therefore, it makes sense to approach self-affirmative from these three areas. In this paper, as a preliminary step to the development of such a program, we developed a scale for measuring self-affirmative, especially the selection of question items. As a result, a total of 31 items, “self-affirmative,” “stable self/self-confidence,” and “self-determination/career,” were suggested.
