Abstract
The work provides an analysis of the image of the educator in the New Testament text The Road to Emmaus as the image of educator-companion by means of hermeneutic methodology and the theoretical frame of spiritual scientific pedagogy.
Companionship is one of the main human experiences through which the human being becomes humanized. What is of particular importance is the educator’s skill of encounter, which in itself contains numerous paradigms of educational work – friendly intimacy, confidence, responsibility for others, the ability to communicate, empathic involvement, progression and high demands, truthfulness and serving education. This work provides a systematic and logical explanation of the influence of spiritual scientific pedagogy and its paradigm of understanding the meaning and significance of educational action. It also provides an analysis of the educator’s role as a companion to the educatee in different situations. Emphasis is placed on the educational practice, i.e. on »practical pedagogy«.
