When talking about preschool education, we should distinguish what preschool education is. For children, preschool education is an education that has not yet gone to school at the age of 6; Education before learning, training to update knowledge, is safety education. Therefore, whether postmodern or modern, we should define the concept of preschool education accurately.

Postmodernism is "postmodernism", which is a cultural tendency and a problem of cultural philosophy and spiritual value orientation. There is no special authoritative definition of "postmodernism" at present, but there are generally two views: one is the denial of modernism, and the other is the transcendence of modernism, that is, the result of continuing to advance on the basis of modernism.

The main schools of postmodern philosophy are: post-structuralism represented by French philosophers Derrida and Foucault, philosophical hermeneutics represented by German philosopher Gadamer, and new realism represented by American philosophers Quine and Rorty.

Pragmatism has different theoretical sources, but they share the same theoretical premise and ideological essence. This is to reject metaphysics, oppose fundamentalism, essentialism and rationalism, and advocate so-called incommensurability.

Preschool Education under the Influence of Modernism

From the standpoint of modernism, the core assumption of preschool education is that preschool education is deterministic and general; We can and should discover verifiable truth through objective methodology and determine unified standards. In 1950s, preschool education started this new process under the influence of modernist philosophy, and it continued until 1980s.

Preschool Education under the Influence of Postmodernism

Influenced by post-modernism, preschool education has begun a new period. Professor Finax believes that post-modern education is characterized by a world view of cultural diversity and social complexity.

In the post-modern world, individuals have to face discontinuity, loss and faster and faster changes. In such a world, the direction is not provided by norms and externally prescribed standards, but is obtained by individuals.

Contrary to the national modern curriculum, the curriculum based on postmodernism attaches importance to cultural differences and diversity. Diversity takes into account differences in culture, language, race, gender, social class, age and physical characteristics. Under the influence of postmodernism, preschool education accepts and welcomes uncertainty, complexity, difference, multi-perspective, historicity and situational specificity.
