Short Story-Reading Analysis: A Pedagogical Strategy in Students’ Self-esteem Awareness
The current research study aimed at encouraging a group of Public Accountancy students in Un iversidad Externado de Colombia to recognize personal qualities and increase self-esteem through short story
reading analysis and reflective writing worksheets. The starting point of this qualitative study was to identify students' self-concept, analyze their attitudes in situations in which they had to acknowledge their own positi ve qualities in contrast with the disposition to highlight their weaknesses and personal errors, and find pedagogical strategies to foster awareness of their strengths and vi11ues. The instrume nts used to collect information were audiorecordings, students' artefacts, an exploring self reflection questio1maire and teacher's field notes. The findings showed that sho11 story content and reflective writing influenced students' role on self-esteem identifying maltreatment as a source of frustration and failure, and reflective writing as a means to construct positive selfconcept/self-esteem. Likewise, students achieved awareness of self-esteem, as they recognized personality strengths and accepted their weaknesses confronted in their refle ctive writing.
