Personality and Activity of the Teacher: the Cultural Approach

The article is dedicated to the academic apprehension of the isomorphism of activity processes of the Teacher and the Artist. The author underlines that the revelation and verification of the deep initial connection between pedagogy and art has never become the subject of the specific theoretical analysis until now. In the logic of the cultural approach, the author uncovers the syncretical character of teaching activity, demonstrates the isomorphism of the main stages of the Teacher’s and the Artist’s creativity process, proves that Teaching is a creative profession. In the article, the concept of “pedagogic method of world exploration” is introduced for the first time, its content is revealed and its relation to the artistic method of world exploration is proved. The author presents the Teacher’s creative work as a form of art, performed within the teaching activity, and identifies the similarities and differences between the Teacher’s and the Artist’s activity processes and final results. The author proves the immanence of the artistic methodology of teaching activity and demonstrates the need for artistic education within the system of teacher’s training and retraining.
