Postmodernist orientations in education

Abstract

Postmodernist education aims to train social agents capable of diagnosis, intervention and change of the existential framework. From the perspective of postmodernist education, education must determine the subjects to be in a continuous problematic state, a state in which to constantly ask questions and seek answers. The paradigm of postmodernist education emphasizes the usefulness of knowledge: what will you do after graduation?; how will you use what you have learned?; how will you improve your life by applying what you know? In this sense, postmodernism advances the idea that it is necessary to introduce new technologies in school in order for education to keep pace with the continuous socio-economic transformation and rapid digitalization of culture.
