MOTIVATORS OF JUNIOR SCHOOLCHILDREN’S MORAL SELF-APPRAISAL

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of junior schoolchildren’s moral self-appraisal. It is shown that primary school age is a sensitive period for forming a person’s moral and spiritual sphere. Moral self-appraisal is the aggregate of children’s cognitive and sensory moral ideas about their own physical, personal and social properties that show up in moral behavior and their critical perception. The analysis of empiric material allowed to detect motivators (situations) that induce children to the moral self-appraisal. As a result of the research performed it is concluded that motivators of moral self-appraisal are relevant and predetermine the formation of the motivational and meaningful system of evaluation.
