Abstract
This conceptual paper presents the Meta-Praxis
3 (MP3) model as a praxeological extension of the Trans-Multiple Abilities
(TMA) meta-theory of learning, situating professional practice of pediatric
therapeutic alliance (PTA) within an integrated framework of Diagnostics,
Dialogics, and Didactics (Triple-D). Grounded in the educological traditions of
Freire, Schön, and Kemmis, the MP3 model conceptualizes praxis as dialogic,
reflective, ethically informed, and socially embedded action. While the TMA
meta-theory explains learning as a non-linear, recursive, and emergent process
grounded in the dynamic interplay of Cognition, Conation, Affect, and Sensation
(CCAS), the MP3 model extends this architecture into professional and
institutional contexts. It translates cognitive meta-theoretical principles
into transformative praxis through a structured assessment-intervention
continuum operationalized in the two-level 3-D management system
(Define-Develop-Drive; Design-Deploy-Deliver). Applied within PTA and the
treatment of learning disabilities (LDs), the MP3 model integrates
multidimensional Diagnostics, collaborative Dialogics, and evidence-based
Didactics into a coherent, reflective cycle of practice. By unifying learning
theory with socio-critical and participatory praxis, the MP3 model advances
both clinical rigor and humanistic responsiveness in pediatric therapy
settings.
