  • Postmodernism and educational style. Clarifying discussions

    In the context of all the changes that we feel so acute, from societal level to the individual one, a fresh and updated conception of what education means today is required. Those who offer education (schools, teachers, and mentors) have to respond to the demands imposed by contemporary life, marked by increasing globalization and diversity, conflict and instability, etc. It is natural to believe and to promote the idea that postmodernization of the school (an idea that is not exactly new) will bring about those fundamental changes in the teachers' conceptions and, changes that are so expected and even urgent. This idea of post-modernization of the school will facilitate the resuscitation of education, considered so necessary in the conditions in which the confusion and lability of the system are "insight". This paper proposes two analyses. First, one of the elements that characterize post-modern education. The second analysis captures specific aspects of the dynamics of the structural elements of the educational style, considered a possible revitalizing factor of the educational phenomenon

  • Child abuse in igboland of nigeria: context and characteristics

    Igboland is located in south-eastern Nigeria and the inhabitants are known for the love they have for children.
