Teaching, specifically in the realm of history/
social studies, involves at the very least, an interaction between the subjectively
constructed worlds of the student, the teacher, the school environment and the larger community. This paper explores the manifestations of subjectivity in education in light of the works of various theorists (Piaget, Vygotsky, Bandura, Dewey, and Bruner) and in terms of
social constructivism, from a postmodern point of view.
