THE ROLE OF SELF-DISCIPLINE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PUPILS’ PERSONALITY

Abstract. In this article, the author posits that the process of a pupil's self-discipline should begin in the preschool years. It is during this period that they start to act based on situational context. Over time, their development is guided in a specific direction by the knowledge, skills, and habits they acquire. As they de­velop into individuals, they become increasingly capable of innovation. Therefore, self-discipline is a crucial psychological factor in the personality development. Throughout both primary school and adolescence, schoolchildren acquire the skills and habits necessary to define their own goals. They strive to be more at­tentive and dignified, valuing honesty, integrity, and a sense of self-worth and honour. This is because new, even unfamiliar, feelings and emotions begin to emerge in their inner world, influencing their actions, be­haviour, and daily activities. The author notes that the formation and development of positive moral and ethical qualities in high school students is contingent upon their engagement in self-discipline.
