The Warrior and the Winner archetypes in educational activity

Journal Title: Edukacyjna Analiza Transakcyjna - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue

Abstract

In the present article, the author attempts to describe the role of the Warrior and the Winner as archetype models within the context of educational activity. He carries out an in-depth analysis of Ken Carter’s (a teacher and trainer) behaviours, emotions and actions, which accompanied him during many years of work with high school students of Richmond High School in California. This example is the most important part of the analysis as it illustrates the process of identifying with the archetypal roles of the Warrior and the Winner and demonstrates their practical applications in real-life situations. Moreover, the author attempts to show these archetypal models in a broader cultural, social and educational context, referring to rich literature of the subject in the field of cultural anthropology, psychology and pedagogy, as well as to the transactional analysis concept.
