포스트모더니즘적 유아교육관 고찰 = A Study of Viewpoint of Early Childhood Education in the Post - modernism Era

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study examines the goals and principles of early childhood education from a post-modern perspective. The chief features of post-modernism noted as an emancipation of reason-oriented thinking, an emphasis on dynamic interaction, a preference of relativism, and a respect of variation, flexibility, and self-regulation. From such a post-modern perspective, the most important elements in organizing and operating early childhood education would include the deregulation of pre-programmed educational frameworks, a concern for the growth and development made possible through mutual dependency and interaction, and an orientation to open-education. The post-modernist view, while generally described in realms outside of early childhood education, are nonetheless relevant to early childhood education`s current goals.
