The purpose of this study was to understand the ideal self of current college students and suggest implications for value education in the university setting by analyzing the experience of college students who explore their ideal self and make efforts to change in an introspection-based class in the liberal arts curriculum. The results showed that the ideal self of college students shown in the introspection-based class were found largely in three types. The first type is of the students who reflected on the problem that they have lived not their own lives but someone else s life by being overly self-conscious of other people s standards, then set their ideal self as the person who knows what it means to be me and live my own life, and made efforts to change through a series of introspection activities that facilitated looking into themselves which was an exercise to which they hadn t previously given much attention. The second type is of the students who reflected on the problem that they have overly pressured themselves or had fallen into a self-rationalization mode but ultimately lived lazy lives due to the absence of a dream and life goal, set their ideal self as the person who has a dream and challenges themselves passionately to achieve that dream and attempted to change through self-management processes such as goal management, time management, and competency management. Finally, the third type is of the students who reflected on the problem of being in superficial relationships due to their indifference to their environment and people in their surroundings, set their ideal self as the person who pays attention and cares about others and their surroundings, and sought to assertively express themselves to others in a non-aggressive or non-passive way and behave in an appropriate manner within their relationships starting from those people closest to them such as their family and further to relationships between themselves and even nature itself. |
