Translator disclaimer

This article outlines an integrative model that draws on transactional analysis and the accelerated learning system with the purpose of improving teaching and learning methods, teacher-student relationships, and the empowerment of learners. The model is supported by the author's practical experience and the literature reviewed. The interrelationships that link these perspectives are explored via three levels of knowledge: first level–philosophical; second level–theoretical and technical; and third level–emotive and intuitive. This integrated framework and the tools that derive from it offer alternative ways of decontaminating the Adult ego state and/or moving beyond previously acquired beliefs that are found to be limiting. The article suggests an integrated framework that allows the learner to bypass such learning barriers, and it presents practical approaches that foster mutual enrichment and increased potency for both disciplines.
