Read this and almost hurled: “Postmodern learning is a creative act. It involves ever-changing environments and learning arrangements. Individual plans can be created wherein the learner is an active participant. The postmodern teacher and mature student are partners in learning a body of knowledge within a contemporary context. Other methods are not discarded, but they are used, modified and recreated to suit the situation at hand. The postmodern instructor is a “guide on the side” whose role is more to facilitate learning experiences toward the meaningful aims. Alternate views and content integration are encouraged. Ideas are brought together through a holistic approach to form new ways of knowing the world. New learning relationships and knowledge creation potential are heightened and become an exciting aspect of the postmodern class.” ~ The Professional School of Psychology I see so many problems in this assessment that have led to the downfall of the education system, starting with students being “partners” with teachers. An equivalency based on what? And facilitation is NOT the same as education. What a joke; this is anti-pedagogy.
