The present research covers the line of history teaching. Line developed from investigative reflection on how temporality and the basic ideas of historical time are acquired and constructed in children, adolescents, and young people. Despite research on temporality and the teaching of history, it is not an exhausted topic (Santisteban 2007, p. 87), much less in our country, whose journey is squalid. The purpose is to propose the approach and management of temporal concepts, typical of historical time, in students from the seventh grade so that they generate historical skills or competencies (Santisteban, 2010, p. 34), related to temporality and historical consciousness in their formation of future citizens, who can understand their present, value and interpret their past and build a future as an individual and members of society. In this sense, a proposal of suggestions is made on the approach to temporal concepts, as a result of the revaluation of the epistemological content of the Departmental period of the history books of Panama of the seventh level of pre-media of public education and related documents, with a view to improve the teaching act around the teaching of history.
