THE FORMATION OF SELF-IMAGE OF PRIMARY CLASS STUDENTS IN THE PROCESS OF RECEPTION OF THE LITERARY TEXT (ANALYSIS OF THE CONTROL EXPERIMENT)

This article presents the analysis of the control experiment, reflected in the test applied to third and fourth grade students in the Republic of Moldova and in Romania, in the framework of research on the formation of the self-image of primary school students in the process of receiving the literary text. Following the completion of the optional discipline "Read and know yourself!", through which the formation of the students' self-image was pursued through literary texts, the students from two grades of third and fourth, each from Romania and the Republic of Moldova, completed a test with items based on a literary text, with answers aimed at the level of reception of the reproductive, productive or creative literary text, in order to identify the level of reception of the prevailing literary text. Comparative analyses were made between the results obtained in the ascertainment experiment and the control experiment, as well as between the results obtained by each individual student, demonstrating their evolution in terms of self-image formation.The use of literary-artistic education, respecting its own methods and principles through the optional discipline resulted in the formation of a positive self-image in students.The results of the pedagogical experiment allow the finding that the level of self-image formation of the students in the experimental classes increased considerably in relation to the level of the self-image formation of the students in the control classes. This confirms the validity of the research hypothesis as well as the effectiveness of the methodology of forming the students' self-image in the process of receiving the literary text.
