Perspective of student is teachers' recognize and idea to students and it contains perspective of life, perspective of development, perspective of potential, perspective of difference, perspective of right, perspective evaluation. What kind of perspective of student we have, the same kind of perspective of education we have.At the present, the research on perspective of student is divided into two sorts: one is academic aspect, it emphasizes to describe students' nature and characteristics, the other is practical aspect, it criticizes the old perspective of student, and develops the perspective of student, taking cases as examples. The above tow sorts of researches have one same characteristics, which all emphasize to use modern thinking to study students, for example, research on student's subject. The sorts of researches can help transform perspective of education and progress quality education. But researches on perspective of student still make us fell not enough to develop the new perspective of student on the basis of the old ones, emancipate thought.Postmodernism is the new western culture and thought tides in 1950s and 1960s. This tides once contribute to postmodernist controversy on philosophy, aesthesis, sociology, literature and pedagogy. Postmodernism, as philosophy and model of thinking, provides new perspective for people to recognize things. This theory and model of thinking has methodological significance to education research, has enlightening significance to research on perspective of studentIn the perspective of postmodernism, firstly, this article interrogates modern perspective of student, which shows in tow aspects: three classic perspectives of student are described and criticized, which are, Comenius' "on the clock", locke's "on white paper" and Kant's "on ration". This article criticizes the theoretic basis of mechanism in Perspective of student in Comenius' "on the clock", criticize the idea regarding students as learning machines, interrogates locke's idea that "the mind is like a pieceof white paper, there no marks and ideas on it" Deconstruct the absolute hegemony education to the students' development and teachers to students, criticizes Kant's absolute ration and human nature's permanence, generalization, criticizes Kant's idea that human is existing of rational animal, criticizes Kant's educational claim that children absolute subject to ration, and criticizes Herbart's theory that teachers is the center which is influenced by Kant. In the course of criticizing, we offer that we should regard students as human, human who have enough personality, human who have development potential by nature, as human who have multi-logos and multi-sensibility.

This article criticizes the modem theory on human's subject, opposes the idea "that human is the center of universe", the subject' hegemony of subjects to objectives, indefinite transformation of subjects to objectives, analyzes the concept of subject perspective of student, offers limitation and harm of extractive emphasis of human' ration and the center's status of human.Secondly, this article tries to offer the concept of postmodernist perspective of student, according to postmodernist theory and its model of thinking. Postmodernist perspective of student thinks, student is the creative being, education should esteem student's creation, develop student' creative potential, protect student's creative ardor, develop student's creative ability, the highest idea of quality education is to develop student's creative ardor and student's practical ability, student is original being, education should esteem student's multi-aspect differences, remove all kinds of discrimination, listen to different voices, especially, the voice of disadvantageous groups, concerns students on minor status or the edge; student should become sustainable developmental human, education is an enterprise to develop human's potential.
