- W48651718 abstract "Our world today is full of challenges and opportunities. Religion is at the center of attention by the world audience. Civilization will survive if, and only if, educational leaders implement postmodern thinking in public education. Postmodernism was originally a critique of modernism. My views support postmodernism as a current state of mind that allows a way of seeing and working together differently. We have moved from the technology phase of society into a complex day-to-day global communication. All cultures and religions must discuss issues and make adjustments in the work-place to survive the postmodern thinking of the 21 st century. This article will share my views of postmodern thinking and offer a solution to global communication. The communication belief will allow the cultures and religions of the world to survive and live a normal and peaceful lifestyle. Teachers are the main focus in the postmodern world of change. Teaching is a gift from God. Dedication is the primary strength of a teacher. Commitment is necessary to perform duties as a teacher. The author believes the teacher must first connect with the student; then care for the student; and be totally committed to teach the student. The author has spent long hours performing responsibilities as a teacher and emphasizes to do whatever is necessary to help the child to learn. Countless hours of extra work with students often separate the certified teachers from the qualified teachers. The postmodern era in technology will not improve without involving the students. s a child, letter writing was a standard way of formal way of communication. I wrote a letter to my friend and the communication process took at least seven days to complete the cycle. As a teenager, I walked to the corner drug store and used the telephone. This was expenses but this was instant communication. Forty years A NATIONAL FORUM OF EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION AND SUPERVISION JOURNAL 2________________________________________________________________________________ later, I use my cell phone and communicate with my friend regularly. Today, technology will allow me to see and talk with my friend routinely. In forty years, the ability to communicate with friends has improved from seven days to less than seven seconds. We are now approaching the postmodern era in America and our thinking must accompany the changes. The purpose of this article is to research new strategies for educational leaders to implement postmodern thinking in public education in the United States of America. Effective change is the mean of communication in the future. Research will investigate the paradigm shift in public education. I will focus on the new role of teachers and principals. Educational leaders in America must concentrate on a new paradigm shift for successful teaching and learning. I will share my views as an author of postmodern thinking. I have been an educator for forty years and currently enrolled in the doctoral program at Prairie View A & M University. Being a part of the changes that occurred in America for the past forty years will allow me to share what has been successful. I will research and share the views of Dr. Fenwick English, Dr. Michael Fullan, Dr. William Kritsonis, Ms.Nicole Mockler, and other noted authors in the postmodern era. Fenwick English (2003) found that the alternative to hegemonic modernism is to move toward a multiparadigmatic approach with competing perspectives (centers). Such an approach would require a suspension of the quest for a short term empirical or philosophical metacriterion which supports a line of demarcation defining legitimate “scientific” activity and hence “truth” from “non truth.” Theories can only be judged over an extensive time period. The process of becoming postmodern is about teachers, schools and systems moving from a state where education is a black and white issue to one where education is about being truly comfortable about individual differences, the elusive nature of truth and thus what is worthy of education and what is not, and the concept of lifelong learning; that learning occurs at all points throughout an individual’s life and that, by implication, the teacher is as much a learner in the process as the learned. The more comfortable we, as a profession, become with those notions, the more likely we are to educate for the 21 st century, utilizing the best technology has to offer education, pursuing individualized, negotiated curricula, and encouraging students to become masters of their learning Mockler (2001). Epistemology is the study or theory of the nature and grounds of knowledge especially with reference to its limits and validity. Epistemology concerns itself with what constitutes knowledge and how we arrive at it (Phenix, 1986). Because each individual manifests certain knowledge capabilities, it is within our nature to uncover the best avenue to share that knowledge. Teachers need to become consummate examples themselves of lifelong learning, collaborative processes and personal mastery, to borrow a concept from Senge (1990). Fullan (1993b) argues the need for teachers to become change agents, arguing that the moral purpose with which he credits the teaching profession directly leads to change agentry because moral purpose or making a difference concerns bringing about" @default.
