The following is the analysis of a survey that was done as a part of a Multilateral Comenius School Partnership project. The questionnaire aimed to analyse and compare the self-esteem levels shown by the Portuguese students with the ones shown by the students from Finland, Spain and Italy. The questionnaire included a total of 36 questions regarding the evaluation of self-esteem and was organized by the Italian school Istituto Tecnico Commerciale, Turistico e per Geometri "Enrico Mattei" in Decimomannu, Sardinia, and translated to Portuguese by the Portuguese project coordinators.
It is important to say that 60 male students answered the survey, which corresponds to 61% of the total students surveyed, and that 38 female students also did it, which corresponds to a rate of 39% of the total students involved in this survey. The students´ average age was 17 years old and they were all students at FORAVE.
In what concerns the analysis of the results it’s possible to conclude that the average score of the 98 students is placed in a high self-esteem level (average = 53). Looking at the results of the 38 female students, 36,8% have high self-esteem levels, 47,4% have average self-esteem levels and 15,8% have low self-esteem levels. Regarding the 60 male students, we can say that 76,7% have high self-esteem levels, 21,7% have average self-esteem levels and that 1,6 % have low self-esteem levels.
It must be stressed that these results aren’t a faithful picture and that they only represent trends. Nevertheless, this survey was important because it made our students realize the importance of being able to evaluate themselves in a positive way and of considering the self-esteem as a temporary psychological condition, that is to say, a condition that can be changed so that it can influence all their actions at school and with their families.
