6.  No information was found directly associated with this writer/theorist other than the titles of books he has written.  Writer of “Games Students Play (and what to do about them)”

7.  Based on the thought that life is based on a process of dynamic urges and counterchecks.  We all have stored memories or “tapes” that we quickly can invoke based on certain stimuli.  The central principal is the social “transaction”

8.  A social transaction happens when two or more people encounter each other. › The transaction happens when one or both either speak or acknowledge the presence of the other. This is called the Transactional Stimulus. › Then when the other party responds by saying or doing something in return it is reffered to as the Transactional Response.

9.  After close observation is was discovered that all people have 3 states of being within them in response to the transactions. › Child › Parent › Adult

10.  When parent rules are being recorded the internal feelings of the Child state are also developing.  The child state includes the evaluation of the experience with seeing, hearing, and feeling data.  These are recorded as “OK” or “Not OK” feelings.

11.  Based on all tapes we have stored from past experiences with our parents or parent substitutes from when we were young.  All tapes that have been stored in this being are looked at as “truths” because as a young child we are helpless and depend solely on our parents for everything.  Usually our parent state contains lots of extremes about what we should and should not do because they are based mainly on our safety.  Words used commonly are never, always, never forget….

12.  The adult stage is developed through gathering information and creating a thought concept of life.  It takes information from other stages and processes it to validate it. › Example: The discovery that it is in fact unsafe to run in the street. This information was instilled in the parent state.

13.  As educators you must find clues to help you decide what internal state the students are operating from. › Examples on following slides…

14.  Physical: Furrowed brow, pursed lips, pointing index finger, head wagging, the “horrified look”, foot tapping, hands on hips, arms folded across chest, sighing…  Verbal: Always, Never, For once and for all, Judgmental words, critical words, patronizing language

15.  Physical: Tears, quivering lip, pouting, temper tantrums, high pitch whining, rolling eyes, shrugging shoulders, teasing, laughter, hand raising for permission to speak, nail biting, giggling…  Verbal: Baby talk, I wish, I don’t know, I want, I’m gonna, I don’t care, Oh No, things never go right for me, worst day of my life, bigger, biggest, best…

16.  Physical: The face of the student will not be blank or dull, but the eyes, face and body will move continually with short periods of non movement showing they are listening.  Verbal: Why, what, how, who, where, when, how much, in what way, comparitive expresions, reasoned statements, true, false, probably, possibly, I think, I realize, I see, I believe…

17.  Nondirective Statements  Questions  Directive Statements  Reinforcement  Modeling

18.  Nondirective Statements › These statements when used help to verbalize and clarify the true meaning of the students actions.  Example: When a student voices that they “hate” those other students because they are driving them crazy, you as the teacher can then rephrase it back to the student by saying the following: “The students are doing things that you do not like.” › This helps to let the teacher deal with reality and take the facts from the student and the teachers interpretation of it.

19.  Questions › Using questions can help to analyze the messages they send as “OK” or “Not OK” with the help of the parent, adult and child construct. › By using questions you can turn a baiting question from a student into a learning experience.

20.  Directive Statements › Directive statements can be used in a manner that can be destructive or instructive. You must be careful when using these to make sure you are sending the correct message.  Example: “I cannot teach the class when you talk so loudly. If you have something to say, raise your hand and I’ll listen to you.”

21.  Reinforcement › Although a behavior reward system is not directly mentioned in the TA model it is considered that students all need to have the feeling that they are “Ok.” › Teachers need to always remember that students need positive reinforcement and complimentary messages to feel encouraged.

22.  Modeling › It is thought that teachers should teach the Transactional Analysis Theory to their students so that they have an equal playing field for understanding behaviors.
