Habituation Of Self-Confidence Character in Elementary School For Developing Independent Personality

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of instilling self-confidence in elementary school students in order to develop independent individuals. However, in practice, many students are still hesitant, shy, and dependent on others when completing tasks, which hinders their independence in learning and interacting. Through planned activities, self-confidence can be developed regularly in the school environment. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, which aims to describe in detail the implementation of instilling self-confidence in elementary school students. The results of this implementation show positive changes, namely that students become more confident in their abilities, more active in learning, and more courageous in making decisions without always asking for help from others. It is concluded that instilling self-confidence in elementary school is very important in shaping independent individuals. The limitation of this study is that it was only conducted in one school, so the findings cannot be generalized widely. Therefore, further research is recommended to involve more schools with different conditions and combine qualitative and quantitative approaches to obtain more comprehensive results regarding the effectiveness of instilling self-confidence in students.
