Postmodernism, which is used in the meaning of the future of modernism, has an attitude against modernism. Today, the debate on postmodernism and modernism has not ended yet. Postmodernists see the world as a pattern which is alterable and diverse. The concept of postmodern history is against the traditional concept of history. As the postmodernism gives importance to popular culture, it argues that it is necessary to use local and oral history methods in the writing of history. Persons and groups who have not entered the history textbooks should be studied, the events that are important to the local community should be examined and discussed, and daily life should be addressed. Postmodernism places importance on localism and local culture. In this context, postmodernism considers verbal history as the most appropriate approach to the study of local history. The purpose of this research is to explain the reflections of postmodern education in history education. The research is a study in documentary screening type. For the collection of research data, research related to the subject were used. In this research, the concept of postmodernism is tried to be explained and the effects of this concept on education, especially history education, are discussed. As a result of the nature of postmodernism, it has brought a new perspective to traditional history and history education. Although this perspective has been widely accepted by traditionalist historians, it has been adopted by many innovative historians, because of the new approaches in education. Especially constructivism, the reflection of the postmodernist approach, is a widely accepted conception today. In this context, understanding postmodernism as a concept and studying its reflections on history education are the main purpose in this research. The concept of postmodern history is seen as an understanding of local and verbal history. Therefore, in this research, the concepts of local and verbal history have been tried to be explained by also using the literature review.
