This statement which was brought about with the reborn process of the societies after industrialization draws a challenging perspective with its criticism and the things it promises. The postmodern attitude creating a new perspective to the terms of freedom, equality and justice has come into our lives intensively with the innovations and we can see its reflections in various fields; from art to sociology. Postmodernism has, beyond any doubt, effects on education. A new education environment in which the student is in the center of education as an individual and the teacher is a guide has been thought. The student s constructing his own learning, presenting alternative subject based on the student s choice by schools are considered to be the most important innovations. With the integration of postmodernism approach into education, the perception of literate people has changed. In this process which creates a new approach and with which it is seen that the trainings on the basic skills are not enough for the literate individual, the individual should have the skills to use mass media effectively. In this sense, the necessity to train individual according to his predominant skills makes it essential to question the teaching approaches. This study analyses the term of postmodernism and it relationship with education within the scope of these necessities.
