Subjectivity, Identity and Education: The Temporal and Spatially Construction in the Teaching of History

Social events and phenomena have their roots in the past and are inevitably projected into the future. Thus, the present forms a weak, subtle, imprecise temporal border. It needs the past to materialize since this is the only one that has already been. However, the past without the present would be worthless since the explanation given by either of the two is the result of the other, it is the result of the problems and questions that man has about his own time and the future. It is this reflection between the past, present, and future that gives meaning to temporality. Establishing a correct relationship between them must be one of the main purposes of teaching history since one of the basic foundations of the formation of temporality consists of having the ability to perceive and understand the historical dimension of reality.
