Postmodernism is a broad movement that developed in the mid- to late 20th century
across philosophy, the arts, architecture, and criticism, marking a departure
from modernism.

Postmodern life is not just about rapid and turbulent change. It is also about
fragmentation of old systems and expectations.

A. Aims of Education 

 the aims of education are teaching critical thinking, production of

knowledge, development of individual and social identity, self-creation
 They tolerate others criticism and try to think in critical way. They learn to
respect other cultures and nationalities.

B. Curriculum

 In contrast to a traditional, modernist curriculum sits the study of

curriculum as a social, political, and cultural phenomenon. Relinquishing
claims to objective truth and reality, a postmodern viewpoint rejects
modernity’s positivist assertion. 

  Postmodernism emphasizes the subjective experience of reality. For this

reason, I include a short anecdote to introduce this analysis. Personal
experience illuminates my hermeneutic understanding of the text.

C. Methods of teaching

 In postmodern education teachers just lead students to discover new

things.
 They provide opportunities to discuss about different subjects and make
creative ways. In this situation student learn to listen to other voices.
 They tolerate others criticism and try to think in critical way. 
 They learn to respect other cultures and nationalities. 
 Also, they emphasize on cooperative learning independent learning, and
dialectic, critical and verbal methods.

D. Classroom Management

1. Striving of Diversity 7. Becoming Independent

2. Tolerance 8. Productive Citizens
3. Freedom
4. Creativity
5. Emotions
6. Intuition

E. Role of Teacher and Administration

 The postmodern instructor must be able to walk with their

students through the data and information to the knowledge that
is both involved with the purposes of the course of studies and
with the meaning relative to the life of each individual student.
 In postmodern education teachers just lead students to discover
new things.
