Istorija bendrojo lavinimo mokykloje: moksleivių požiūris
History Teaching/Learning in Secondary School from Pupils’ Point of View

Summary/Abstract: The article presents data of pupils’ sociological survey which aimed to throw some light on pupils’ attitude towards teaching/learning history. About 85% of pupils claim their willingness to learn history because they find out many interesting facts about people’s life in the past, and they can apply this factual historical knowledge to their everyday life, communicating with other people. Pupils like world history, especially ancient period and, to a lesser extent, medieval period. As far as Lithuanian history is concerned, pupils are more interested in the 20th century because of significant events about which they hear authentic stories. They also like to learn about the period of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania when Lithuania was a powerful and influential country. Interesting fact to note is that boys’ and girls’ attitudes towards history learning are not adequate. Boys are more interested in politics, scientists’, and military leaders’ biographies. Girls prefer topics on culture, religion, people’s daily life, famous artists’ lives and activities.
