This publication supplements an earlier publication, "What Do You
Like about Yourself? Developing a Positive Self-Concept" that
presented an introduction to self-concept and included activities
that could be used with students of all ages. This particular
document, divided into two parts, includes additional ideas and
activities that relate to self-concept development, with special
emphasis on the importance of self-concept in relation to decision
making and problem solving. Part I lists topics in which the
relationship of self-concept and decision making can be integrated,
lists teacher and student objectives, reviews definitions, and
discusses the thinking process. Part II contains 43 activities, most
of which are designed to be duplicated and handed out to students.
The directions or notes to the teacher can be removed or covered when
making student copies. The activities should be adapted to meet the
needs and interests of students. Activities cover these
representative topics: criticism within a context of positive
reinforcements, brainstorming, triad thinking, alternatives, thinking
skills, technology today, ethical dilemmas, assertiveness, community
service, aging, differences, moods, your place and space, images,
inner and outer self, self-image, and rewards. The appendix includes
a 47-item bibliography, a matrix of all activities coded to the
teacher and student objectives, a list of Future Homemakers of
America/Home Economics Related Occupations activities, a page of
suggestions for using teams in the classroom, a "lesson on leisure"
module, and bulletin board ideas. (YLB)
