Postmodernism and educational style. Clarifying discussions

Abstract

In the context of all the changes that we feel so acute, from the societal level to the individual one, a fresh and updated conception of what education means today is required. Those who offer education (schools, teachers, and mentors) have to respond to the demands imposed by contemporary life, marked by increasing globalization and diversity, conflict and instability, etc. It is natural to believe and promote the idea that post-modernization of the school (an idea that is not exactly new) will bring about those fundamental changes in the teachers' conceptions and, changes that are so expected and even urgent. This idea of post-modernization of the school will facilitate the resuscitation of education, considered so necessary in the conditions in which the confusion and lability of the system are "insight". This paper proposes two analyses. First, one of the elements that characterize post-modern education. The second analysis captures specific aspects of the dynamics of the structural elements of the educational style, considered a possible revitalizing factor of the educational phenomenon.
