Postmodernism and educational style. Clarifying discussions

Summary/Abstract: In the context of all the changes that we feel so acute, fromsocietal level to the individual one, a fresh and updated conception of whateducation means today is required. Those who offer education (schools,teachers, and mentors) have to respond to the demands imposed bycontemporary life, marked by increasing globalization and diversity, conflictand instability, etc. It is natural to believe and to promote the idea that postmodernizationof the school (an idea that is not exactly new) will bring aboutthose fundamental changes in the teachers' conceptions and, changes thatare so expected and even urgent. This idea of post-modernization of theschool will facilitate the resuscitation of education, considered so necessaryin the conditions in which the confusion and lability of the system are"insight". This paper proposes two analyses. First, one of the elements thatcharacterize post-modern education. The second analysis captures specificaspects of the dynamics of the structural elements of the educational style,considered a possible revitalizing factor of the educational phenomenon.
