Wychowanie jako działalność twórcza w kontekście zapośredniczonej komunikacji

Abstract

The issues tackled in the article relate to education as a creative activity, situated in the context of what is referred to as mediated communication. The main purpose of these deliberations is to consider whether education, for years perceived as and referred to as a creative activity, may still be one in the conditions of changing social reality and, above all, in terms of changes in communication between the main subjects of education, i.e. teachers and students. Changes in the processes of intersubject communication observed today and largely mediated by the media, predominantly the Internet, can foster education by making it doubly creative. Being indirect quasi-interactions, however, they may pose a threat to natural interpersonal relationships, which education should primarily be based upon. Thus, reflection on these issues is needed since the media, as a “new partner” in education, which is currently changing its shape, nature and scope, represent a challenge both for teachers and widely understood educators.
