        The aim of this research was to explicate the childhood period based on the social constructionism, using the deconstruction method. Deconstruction is defined as analyzing and rereading each subject through defocusing and finding some aspects of the subject which are usually neglected. Generally, there exist two groups of theories concerning childhood: First, developmental theories that treat childhood as a natural and universal process. The second group considers the childhood as a special period constructed by society. Social constructionism provided a new sphere by challenging the concepts of developmental theories. According to social constructionism, childhood is a social phenomenon. Focusing on social constructionism, we will encounter special implications. In this way, education will take on a sociocultural nature. Knowledge, and consequently contents of subject matters, will get a sociocultural nature and will be shaped under the influence of other poles of education, namely teacher and other factors of educational system. The social process of knowledge construct leads to the preference of collaborative perspectives in education. Along with all these elements, pluralism will be legitimized in content and method.
