Preschool Education and Self-esteem among First Grade Elementary Students

Preschool education can have a significant impact on various aspects of children's development and personality, especially in their psychological and personal and social life. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of preschool education on self-esteem of first grade elementary students by post-event method on 100 preschool students who did not attend the first grade of Save, Iran. The research instrument was the standard self-esteem questionnaire of Pope et al. (1989) and the research data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential tests (independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance and ANOVA). Preschool children were higher than those who did not, and no significant difference was found between family self-esteem and self-esteem among male and female students.
