Abstract
Teachers are the pillars of education system. They are in direct contact with the young students on day-to-day basis who can be moulded and shaped in the right way at an impressionable age. Teachers have a phenomenal influence on the minds of the students. Teachers’ well-being has a great impact on students’ well-being. Thus, it is imperative for the teachers to hold high self-esteem as they are the role models for their students. Also, in turn they can successfully prepare the students in developing positive self-esteem. Hence training the prospective teachers in ways to build high self-esteem is the need of the hour. With this objective in mind an experimental study was conducted to enhance the self-esteem of the prospective teachers. An intervention program was put into effect which included the technique of journal writing to enhance the self-esteem. The major findings of the study showed that the intervention program has brought a remarkable change with respect to the self-esteem of the prospective teachers. The journal writing technique has helped the participants to critically reflect on their thoughts, views, beliefs, and actions. Thereby giving them an opportunity to bring a change and improvement in their future behaviour.
