Two-Factor Self-Esteem Enhancement Program for Adolescent Student with Self-Esteem Problem

Abstract

Low self-esteem is a problem that often occurs in teenage students. Another issue is that research looking at the effectiveness of intervention programs still focuses on participants with clinical conditions. In contrast, general population participants in educational contexts, such as adolescent students, still need to be improved. This research analyzes a two-factor self-esteem improvement program for adolescents with self-esteem problems. With a single-subject design, this study aims to see the effectiveness of a two-factor intervention development program for adolescent students with self-esteem problems. The intervention program was prepared based on the intervention program from Mruk (2006), which is directed at developing feelings of worth and capability in adolescent students with self-esteem problems. Program evaluation was carried out quantitatively and qualitatively using the Kirkpatrick and Kirkpatrick (2006) program evaluation guide. Data on changes in knowledge were measured using a questionnaire, while changes in behavior were measured using the Indonesian version of Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale, adapted by Maroqi (2018). The research results show that this intervention program positively impacts the self-esteem of problematic adolescent students. There are changes in the knowledge and behavior of teenage students after participating in the intervention program. The results of this research can be a reference for practitioners who work with adolescent students, such as psychologists, school counselors, and teachers, to develop further intervention programs to support the development of students' self-esteem.
