Abstract

By understanding the process of modernization in various aspects of human life, postmodernism has critically analyzed this process. The main goal of this research is to critically analyze the function of the media with a postmodern approach and provide its educational guidelines. To achieve this goal, a critical analytical method has been used. For this purpose, firstly, the most important components of post-modernism were identified in the subject area, and the categories that looked at the media and its socio-educational functions were examined and identified. In the following, along with a critical analysis of the function of the media based on the most important postmodern components, its educational guidelines have been explained by using examples of media citations - especially movies and social networks. The most important components inferred in this research are the critical use of information, respect for the media fence, acceptance of otherness and freedom from the monotony of thought, fundamental reading of the theme, and finally cultural eclecticism in the direction of tolerance of incompatibilities. The results of this research show that knowing the place of media in today's life and moderation in its use, identifying reliable sources and useful information, acquiring media literacy and familiarity with techniques such as persuasion and stereotyping are necessary for effective educational exposure in this field. Giving importance to the values of local communities against elitism and individual and cultural stardom, critical analysis of messages and diversity in information sources are considered educational requirements of this research.
