Abstract

The article has the form of a research report on the dynamics of self-esteem of students at the turn of early education (key stage 2) and subject education (key stage 3). The research was aimed at capturing the directions of changes in self-esteem of students entering the expanse of new educational experiences related to taking the role of a fourth-grade student. The self-esteem of students at the end of the third grade and the beginning of the fourth grade was examined.  It was assumed that the difficulties experienced by a child entering the thresholds of subject education (key stage 3) may be a source of negative tensions, fear and anxiety, which may be manifested in low self-esteem and bad mood. The research sample was determined of students with varied school experiences resulting from different strategies of early primary education teachers. It was assumed that diverse educational experiences gained from previous education may have a different impact on the psychosocial functioning of students at subsequent levels of education.
