Idea „potrójnego nauczyciela” w wychowaniu do twórczego życia
The Concept of the “Triple Teacher” in Education for a Creative Life

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to present the concept of the “Triple Teacher”, au-thored by Zbigniew Marek and Anna Walulik, in the context of ed-ucating for a creative life. The focus of the research is a model ofeducation for a creative life, based on empirical studies investigatingthe relationship between religiosity and creative behaviors. The find-ings suggest that educational efforts should not be limited to shapingspecific behaviors alone. This does not imply abandoning tradition-al educational practices, but rather calls for a shift in pedagogicalthinking and action—referred to as educating for a creative life,which requires not so much cultivating creative behaviors as turningone’s life into a “masterpiece of art” (John Paul II).The concept of the “Triple Teacher” illustrates this approach, whichencompasses the relationships between the External Teacher, the In-ternal Teacher, and the Transcendent Teacher. In Christianity, the per-sonal God is understood as Transcendent Teacher. The roles of theseteachers overlap, complement, and interpenetrate each other. Whiletheir boundaries can be difficult to define precisely, they becomeclearly evident in the process of interpreting educational situationsbased on a personalistic concept of education. Each of these roles is important for educating individuals to navigate postmodernity and tolive a creative life.
