Content: as cited in Wright, Module Three-Lesson Two: The Modern and Post-Modern). Postmodern students are identified with differences within age groups while modern students were defined in terms of difference between age groups. One example is “developmentally appropriate practice, which gears schools to the development rather than the chronological age of children” urged by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. ( deMarrais & LeCompte, 1999, p.89). If the modernist assumption is the emphasis on the didactic teaching of content, in postmodern classroom providing learning activities for children to acquire the content is emphasized. Postmodern educators focus on individual differences in learning rather than “uniformity of thought, knowledge, practice, and curriculum” (Wright, Module Three-Lesson One: Labor, Capital and Science). They identify and respond to students with different learning styles. Recognizing the difference in how each student learns has brought special education.
