Abstract: Teaching history in comprehensive school has a cognitive goal and important social functions. Professional historians are much more concerned about acquainting students with the fundamentals of history as research discipline-above all, with the latest ideas of its character. The author uses Western Europe and the USA as examples to demonstrate how latter-day approaches to teaching history at school cope with such mutually contradictory interests.
