Abstract

Students pursuing a degree in pedagogy are expected to present high communication competence that is often correlated with self-esteem. While deliberating on their sources, the authors decided to focus on family and dimensions of family communication. The aim of the presented paper was to identify communication skills and self-esteem presented by students pursuing a degree in pedagogy and to check whether dimensions of family communication act as their mediators. A diagnostic survey and the following measures were used to collect data: Self-Esteem Scale (SES), The Self-Perceived Communication Competence Scale (SPCC) and Kwestionariusz wzorców komunikacji rodzinnej (Family Communication Patterns Questionnaire, Polish acronym: KWKR). The study group was found to present low self-esteem and average communication competence, and the obtained results additionally pointed to the modifying role of dimensions of family communication, primarily in the context of self-esteem and to its restricted scope in the context of communication competence. The results revealed a significant role of family and family communication patterns in human development and functioning, in particular with reference to individuals planning to pursue a career resting on relations with other people.
