Activity 2.2.3 - You and Self-Concept

Complete the following activity by recording your thoughts in your blog.

Think about how the ideas of self-concept relate to your own experiences as a student and as a teacher.

  • If you have access to the Purkey & Novak text book, read pages 26-37 to get more background to the concepts described in the previous activity.
  • If you don't have access to the text book, do some internet searching about "Self-Concept Theory" to find out a bit more background to help you think about the concepts mentioned in the last activity.

Choose two ideas that you feel speak most strongly to you. What do you like about these ideas?
