CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES OF PEDAGOGY IN POSTMODERNISM

Abstract

At the age of intense social, cultural, and political changes, especially in societies undergoing major ideological and economic transition, the system of education and moral education is faced with numerous challenges. Traditional pedagogical paradigms no longer satisfy the needs of contemporary humans, so it becomes necessary to question their relevance in postmodern conditions. Postmodernism, as an epistemological and cultural project, challenges the notions of universality, objectivity, and centralised value systems, thus directly influencing the theory and practice of pedagogical agency. This paper aims at analysing postmodernist challenges in pedagogy, questioning their potential for re-conceptualisation of educational practice, as well as reflecting on possible perspectives of development of the pedagogical practice in postmodernist context.
