Description
Summary:The main purpose of this text is to show that professional passion is closely related to the pedagogical work of a teacher. Therefore, in the first place, the basic terms were specified, i.e. passion and professional passion, and the dualistic model of passion was studied. Subsequently, the second category, i.e. creativity, as well as the concept of pedagogical creativity with its stages are presented. As a result, a number of properties that are characteristic both of teachers' professional passion and their pedagogical creativity are identified. Against this theoretical background, the author emphasises that passions must be revealed through self-reflection and self-analysis, as every person, without always being aware of it, possesses creative qualities to a varying extent, so the same environment may develop them in some people or may not develop them in others. Also, not all teachers are aware of their creative activities, so they just fail to develop them. In this context, some common features of professional passion and pedagogical creativity are indicated in the paper. Passionate teachers, as well as pedagogically creative teachers, are sometimes "explorers" and sometimes "specialists", and as such, they can be partners for children, as well as authorities who in some situations display their personality and who in other situations make use of their professional skills. This way, they can be sometimes free and sometimes they may consciously give up their autonomy for the sake of higher values.
