Summary/Abstract: Everyone needs to be noticed, they need to be in a relationship with another human being - Homo est animal sociale, as Aristotle said. In this article, the question of the fulfillment of that need is considered against the background of education. It is done through the lenses of transactional analysis – one of the psychological concepts. Its creator - Eric Berne - called needs “hungers”. He drew attention to the need of being noticed and called it the “recognition hunger”. Gratification of that need is possible only in a relationship with another human being, by obtaining something which in transactional analysis is called strokes. They are defined as units of interpersonal recognition. They can be either positive or negative. As a result of obtaining certain strokes, a life position – which is a generalized image of oneself, people and the world – is formed.
