This paper discusses the contribution of History and Education studies to the formation of educators. A paradoxical situation exists in this field of study, with a great increase in research in the one hand and on the other hand the restriction of this subject matter in the pedagogy courses in Brazil. Within this context, this paper proposes a debate based on the relation with the past established by educators, in their professional practice, considering this the central issue of historical studies. Three aspects of this relationship are examined: 1st the survival of the past in the current times; 2nd several temporalities coexisting at the same time; 3rd multiple forms of time subjectiveness.
