WHY A TEMPERAMENT-BASED EDUCATION AND GUIDANCE MODEL?
Modern educational understanding emphasizes the importance of educational practices that can identify individual differences and reveal the individual potentials of students in order to raise individuals who are happy, healthy, productive, adaptable, and beneficial to society. The Temperament-Based Education and Guidance approach developed based on the DTMM (Nine Temperament Model) enables us to identify individual differences and determine an education and guidance approach suitable for these differences by focusing on the temperament concept, which determines the underlying reasons for individuals' main pursuits and behaviors in life and organizes the entire action, emotional, and cognitive structuring, forming the cornerstone of personality.
At this point, the Temperament-Based Education and Guidance Approach argues that the most basic parameter determining individual differences is the "temperament type," which expresses the fundamental reason underlying individuals' main pursuits and behaviors in life, and organizes the entire action, emotional, and cognitive structuring, forming the cornerstone of personality. With its approach centered on temperament types, this approach allows us to identify the "perception priorities in life, psychological needs, motivations, talents, interests, inclinations, and at the same time, the negative risky features" of each student.
All parents want to understand their children better. For many of us, the question of how the messages we give to them are perceived or whether they are perceived correctly can become a big issue. We may not be sure how to behave in moments of stress or during communication challenges. We get used to feeling like nothing works. First and foremost, it is necessary to know and accept that children, like adult individuals, have their own temperaments. We all have differences. We can react differently to the same event, just like children.
Last week, I attended a training session on this topic. After leaving the "Nine Temperament Model" training, I felt like I had taken a big step towards understanding my child correctly and communicating with him/her effectively.
There are very good resources written about this model. If you read those resources after this article, I'm sure you'll feel the same way.
What is the 9 Temperament (Enneagram) model?
According to the 9 Temperament Model, each person is born with one of nine different temperament types. Each of these nine types has its own pursuit, orientation, and language of need. Temperament types take their names from the most basic needs and pursuits of individuals in that temperament type.
Is temperament the same as character and personality?
Temperament (temperament) is an inherent and lifelong structural core with unique perception, pursuit, motivation, and potentials that individuals possess from birth and do not change throughout life. It determines individuals' fundamental needs, expectations, and perspectives in life. From this point of view, we can liken temperament to the genetic code passed down from generation to generation, similar to DNA. Just as DNA contains all the information about a person's physical characteristics, including their body, temperament, which can be considered as the psychological DNA, includes all the behavioral, emotional, and cognitive characteristics that individuals are prone to exhibit.
Character is formed by the stability, clarity, and continuity of temperament characteristics. If we accept temperament as a seed, we can liken character to the thick branches of a tree. For example, if an individual has the characteristic of being angry in temperament, and if he/she consistently exhibits angry behaviors in many situations and is defined by others as an "angry person," it becomes a characteristic of his/her character.
Personality is formed by the interaction of temperament structure with largely unchanging conditions such as gender, intelligence, and biological factors, and partial changeable conditions such as the environment, culture, family, education, and events experienced. Temperament forms the structural basis of personality. We can say that while temperament is a seed and character is the thick branches of a tree, personality is the whole tree.
Before determining the temperament type, we need to pay attention to two concepts related to this issue. When we understand these two concepts clearly, it becomes easier to find the temperament type and develop behavior according to that temperament type.
Primary Temperament and Wing Temperament Concepts
Primary temperament: It is the temperament type predominantly and predominantly used by the individual. This temperament type also indicates the center and section predominantly used by that person. For example, if a person's primary temperament is "1," it means that he/she predominantly uses the mind section of the action/physical center.
Wing temperament: Each individual is influenced by another temperament type to a lesser extent in addition to the primary temperament type. We call this temperament type that the individual is influenced by to a lesser extent the individual's wing temperament. The effect of this wing temperament on the individual may be high or low. The effect of the wing temperament adds variety and richness to the primary temperament type. According to this model, each individual consists of a unique mixture of the predominant temperament type and another temperament type that is less effective than the predominant temperament type. Each individual has a wing temperament in the same center as the predominant temperament type. For example, if a person's primary temperament is "1," he/she has the wing temperament of "9."
As can be understood from the above explanation, the Temperament-Based Education and Guidance Model is a contemporary educational approach that aims to increase the efficiency and quality of education by taking into account individual differences in education and guidance services offered to individuals by focusing on the temperament concept. Thanks to this approach, it is aimed to identify individual differences, determine an education and guidance approach suitable for these differences, and increase the efficiency and quality of education and guidance services offered to individuals.
