Abstract
This academic article aims to propose the definition, meaning, and theoretical concepts of self-awareness, factors affecting self-awareness, elements of self-awareness, and guidelines for developing self-awareness to propose a concept for developing self-awareness in students. Related studies and theories of the concepts were analyzed and synthesized.
The analysis has found that self-awareness is the ability to know and understand yourself and comprehend your thoughts, emotions, and actions as well as your strengths and weaknesses leading to the development of potential in various fields. The main theoretical concepts are Self-Theory, Gestalt Theory of Personality, Transactional Analysis, and The Johari Window. Both internal and external factors affect self-awareness. Self-awareness has 4 components: values, thought patterns, adaptation, and interpersonal relations, and there are three concepts for the development of self-awareness: self-study by self, self-study by listening to the opinions of others, and self-exploration using assessments and surveys.
