The Paschalidis Tri-Anthropo-Type Model in Education: Three Learning Profiles, Three Teaching Styles

Abstract

This project demonstrates the Paschalidis TriAnthropo-Type Model in Education as a unique, innovative approach to teaching, learning and parenting/caring, which not only can promote successful teaching and learning but also –and more importantlyguarantee a happy, creative and successful existence for everyone involved in any collaborative community of learning, namely students, teachers and parents/guardians. It also demonstrates that the implementation of the Model cannot be seen just as an “option extra”, but rather as a fundamental springboard for successful teaching, learning and parenting/caring, based on self-awareness and heteroawareness of every member of a student’s learning environment. The Model identifies only three distinct human personality Types, having specific neurobiological origins, and therefore only three learning profiles, three teaching and three parenting styles. It allows teachers to know their own and each of their students’ personality Types and to use this knowledge to improve their teaching significantly for the benefit of each one of their students, no matter their number in the class. This knowledge affords them also to identify easily each student’s strengths and weaknesses, skills and abilities. The implementation of the Model enables learners of any age and level to improve their learning, social skills, personality development and psychological well-being. This project focuses particularly on the teaching and learning of Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary Education children in the classroom, which is regarded as a collaborative learning community of students and teachers.
