Abstract: This article presents a study on the character strengths of students majoring in ‘Preschool and Primary School education’ who are in their third year of studies. The study involved presenting the students with the character strengths development model created by Peterson and Seligman. They then completed the VIA questionnaire and discussed their individual profiles. Every student was asked to choose one of the five main strengths listed in their personal profile and create a lesson plan or concept for improving primary students’ speaking and communication skills. For this purpose, they were provided with a methodological algorithm for working with a literary work that introduces young students to character strengths. The students were asked to report changes in the five key strengths between the two profiles when they completed the VIA questionnaire once more at the end of the study.

Keywords: character strengths, methodological algorithm, students
