Course description:

​

The course "Facilitating the Teaching and Learning Process with Transactional Analysis" is designed for educators, trainers, and facilitators seeking to enhance their understanding and application of Transactional Analysis (TA) principles in educational settings. TA is a powerful psychological theory that provides insights into human behavior, communication patterns, and interpersonal dynamics. By integrating TA concepts into teaching and learning practices, educators can create more engaging, effective, and supportive learning environments.

​

Throughout this course, participants will delve into the core principles of Transactional Analysis and explore how they can be applied to facilitate the teaching and learning process. Topics covered include the TA ego states (Parent, Adult, and Child), transactions and communication styles, games and scripts, and the concept of life positions. Participants will learn how to recognize and address unproductive communication patterns, resolve conflicts, and foster positive relationships within the classroom or educational setting.

​

The course will also provide practical strategies and techniques for incorporating TA into lesson planning, classroom management, and student/participants engagement activities. Participants will engage in discussions, case studies, and experiential exercises to deepen their understanding and develop their skills in applying TA concepts effectively.

​

By the end of the course, participants will have gained a comprehensive understanding of how Transactional Analysis can be utilized to facilitate the teaching and learning process. They will leave equipped with practical tools and insights to create more supportive, empowering, and enriching educational experiences for both educators and learners alike.
