Abstract

The article offers a review of “Passivity at school” by Pierzchała (2013) in terms of the implications for theory and practice of transactional analysis. The main findings from the research project were summarised and compared to other studies concerning passivity. Pierzchała’s contribution to theory lies in providing an evidence base for the concepts of passive behaviours by integrating qualitative and quantitative research methods. The practical implications underline the necessity to confront passivity both in teachers and learners, taking account especially of overadaptation that is reinforced systemically. Relevant short case studies illustrate how theoretical discussions can be translated into educational practice
