From Modern to Postmodern Curriculum

Summary/Abstract: In the postmodern era, from World War II to the modern day, social and instructional changeshave occurred in the contemporary school setting. The schoolhouse culture reflects the effects of thesechanges on all of its participants. New models of relationships between teachers and administrators oramong teachers should try a new existence: that of alliances, connections, group strategies, and democraticcollaboration. Several definitions were given to curriculum in the post modernist and post-post modernisttimes, each of them widening or narrowing the modernist approaches. The need to find key concepts incurriculum design in such a different postmodernist and post-post modernist world comes from the effortto improve the teaching process. This article is a theoretical approach to studying the definitions, roles andsocial implications of modern and postmodern curriculum. Basically, it is intended to discuss several pointsof interest in the study of curriculum in contemporary education. Considering that Romanian society isfacing a variety of crises, one being the state of the national educational system, the need for improvingteaching and learning styles has become both obvious and mandatory.
