“The Contemporary” as a teleological category in the context of educational relation

Abstract

The aim of the article is to solve a problem expressed in the question: how “the contemporary” can be a teleological category in the context of the educational process. In response to this issue, an initial attempt was made to outline a map of pedagogical activity in the context of basic temporal references which include: retrospective orientation, contemporary orientation and prospective orientation. Then, on the basis of separately adopted temporal perspectives, an attempt was made to show them to formulate the basic objectives of upbringing. It has been concluded that the disconnection of these perspectives is not beneficial for the upbringing process, but rather their integration is an appropriate approach. This was called the postulate of the temporal integrity of pedagogy and two models of realization of this postulate were proposed: chronoagogic and kairoagogic.
