The purpose of this study was to examine teacher’s classroom control perceived by school children on their aggression and the mediating effect of children’s self-esteem on the relationship between teacher’s classroom control and their aggression to determine how to give support to teachers facing difficulties because of poor skill in classroom control. The subjects in this study were 372 fifth and sixth graders at an elementary school located in the city of Incheon. The data was processed by SPSS WIN 15.0 and AMOS 7.0. The findings of the study were as follows: First, the students who felt there were heavy aggression suffered from teacher’s degree of classroom control. Especially there was a positive correlation with physical aggression, indirect aggression, verbal aggression, and negativism. But irritability was not considered as a factor. Second, there was a negative correlation between teacher’s degree of classroom control and self-esteem. Third, there was a negative correlation between self-esteem of children and their aggression. Forth, self-esteem had a partial mediating effect on the process that teacher’s degree of classroom control affected their aggression. If teachers not only look for the effective way of lowering the degree of control and but also make efforts for raising children’s self-esteem; then, children’s aggression will decrease.
