Abstract [eng] The trends of history learning in the secondary schools are not changing. The main sources of historical knowledge for the secondary school students still remain a teacher and a textbook. Modern technologies are still not sufficiently utilized for the teaching of History. They are still mostly an element of entertainment for the young people. There is a trend of decreasing family role in the students’ learning process. Because of being more occupied, parents and grandparents rarely consult their children in the questions of history. Until the 1980’s instead of “national revival movement” historians used the term “national liberation movement”. It was also used in the Soviet time school textbooks. This concept appeared there not at once and included various chronological boundaries. The term of Lithuanian national revival was used in the textbooks during the first years of transition from totalitarian to democratic system. Preparation of History textbooks for secondary schools still remains a problem in Lithuania. Because of this, students’ level of knowledge suffers. At the same time, more responsibility is given to teachers. The process of History textbook preparation should involve more professional historians who have more experience of pedagogical work at schools. Students have more general knowledge about our nation’s past. Therefore more of their attention should be directed to the problems of regional and local history. Studying youth is mostly interested in the period of Soviet occupation. This interest is stimulated by several reasons: the stories of their parents, grandparents and teachers; availability of Soviet books, movies and press; special TV and radio programmes, etc. Little interest in the period of 1795-1915 influenced they poor answers to the questions about the 19th century Lithuanian national revival.
