“…In modern conditions, new trends aimed at finding the Truth are being created (Farrow & Moe, 2019). Information channels that have repudiated ideological dependence have become active; they are focused on facts and neutrality.…”

“…The paradigm of modern society of all moral and ethical directions (Ferrando, 2013), political and social movements, cultural and aesthetic trends has been plunged into the discussions about the consequences of globalization and the future of humanity. The modern discourse on the "history of delusions" has revealed global problems in all spheres of public life; however, there were examples of the great Lie in the history (Farrow & Moe, 2019). Today, the situation has become critical due to the flows of information which make it almost impossible to find the truth.…”

“…First of all, this resulted in the devaluation of certain human values and fuzzy concepts of the Truth, Fact, Knowledge, etc (Beyer & Listen, 1992). The Truth is neither demanded nor respected (Farrow & Moe, 2019). The Lie becomes the norm which is accepted by both society and the liars that ironically become the victims of their own lies.…”

Of the goal of this study is to Educate the abstract concept as : Post-truth and Post modernism. Post-truth as a social phenomenon has put scientific discourse into polemic discussions in connection with an acute public request for the restoration of the Truth. Postmodernism, the previous era that gave rise to the problems of moral devaluation, is regarded as a cynical environment that produced these problems. Postmodernism has softened up the ground for radical openness of the public to the requests for the Truth, which can no longer be ignored in the last decade. The research considers modern sources of the formation of socio-ethical phenomena, which are the main life criteria in developed countries. Politics, media and culture are the core of any state and the entire global space. It is in the time of globalization, interstate interdependence, information wars and global warming that these aspects have attracted increased public interest. We provide a comparative argumentation of postmodernism and post-truth proving that the request for the Truth has become a new reality factor due to the mass public demand. The morality and ethics of the Truth have regained their classical forms and escaped from mass manipulation. Consequently, the issues of morality and values have become relevant. Ideologically, the world community demonstrates a genuine desire to restore the socio-ethical mission of the Truth. This statement is proved in our research. P á g i n a | 2 Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio es educar el concepto abstracto como: Post-verdad y Post modernismo. La posverdad como fenómeno social ha puesto el discurso científico en debates polémicos en relación con una aguda solicitud pública de restauración de la Verdad. La posmodernidad, la era anterior que dio origen a los problemas de la devaluación moral, se considera un entorno cínico que produjo estos problemas. La posmodernidad ha suavizado el terreno para la apertura radical del público a las solicitudes de la Verdad, que ya no se pueden ignorar en la última década. La investigación considera fuentes modernas de formación de fenómenos socio-éticos, que son los principales criterios de vida en los países desarrollados. La política, los medios y la cultura son el núcleo de cualquier estado y todo el espacio global. Es en la época de la globalización, la interdependencia interestatal, las guerras de información y el calentamiento global que estos aspectos han atraído un mayor interés público. Proporcionamos una argumentación comparativa de la posmodernidad y la post-verdad demostrando que la solicitud de la Verdad se ha convertido en un nuevo factor de realidad debido a la demanda pública masiva. La moral y la ética de la Verdad han recuperado sus formas clásicas y han escapado de la manipulación masiva. En consecuencia, las cuestiones de moralidad y valores se han vuelto relevantes. Ideológicamente, la comunidad mundial demuestra un deseo genuino de restaurar la misión socio-ética de la Verdad. Esta afirmación se demuestra en nuestra investigación.Palabras c...

“…The relevance for the history of education was quite striking. Although truth had been on extended life support (Fuller and Jandrić 2019) since a vicious attack by French philosophers in the latter half of the twentieth century-see Farrow and Moe (2019) for an overview-it finally evaporated during the Era of the Pandemics. Once a simple pathogen could defy every description, prediction, or claim of science, truth was finally abandoned as worthless.…”

“…For instance, in addition to the many expectations placed on educators, some are looking to them to fulfill additional roles. Farrow and Moe (2019) suggest that through the use of tools like SM that come with inherent openness, educators can address post-truth narratives and prepare students to effectively evaluate the validity of claims being made. Undoubtedly, with these evolving educator roles, many considerations are necessary when using SM for educational purposes (Nathan, MacGougan, & Shaffer, 2014).…”

Social Media (SM) provide exciting instructional opportunities for educators. However, a simple Internet search reveals professional implications that have resulted from educators’ SM usage perceived as missteps. In this research, using an impression construction lens, we considered cases of educators’ SM missteps as perceived by stakeholders and as presented in the news media. From this analysis, a description of what is perceived as inappropriate teacher SM use is provided, explanations of the highlighted SM usage are considered, and a discussion of findings from an impression construction perspective is included. Results suggest impression construction in SM settings is a complex endeavor for educators that prompts varying opinions from stakeholder groups. Suggestions for professional SM use are included.
