Psychopedagogy of Learning and Behaviour, or about Connections between Behaviourism and Educational Transactional Analysis (Part 2)

Abstract

Since its emergence, classical behaviourism as a psychological concept has not only undergone significant changes but it has also been applied in numerous areas of science and practice (economy, political science, computer games, etc.). One of such areas is education in which it has become, among others, a theory and practice of teaching, a concept of didactic programming and a basis for developing educational programmes; it has also been used in therapy of autistic children and as a strategy for resocialization activities. Behaviouralpsychotherapy is mainly a therapy of behaviour, with a set of its own therapeutic methods and techniques. One of the areas in which be-haviourism can be used is transactional analysis in its educational perspective, to which behaviourism still has a lot to offer.
