he author found out that after the state of Lithuania was restored, the representatives of history didactics focused on the studies of the experience of history teaching of the Independent Lithuania (1918–1940) and the dissemination of that experience. It was gradually transitioned to the analysis and promotion of the foreign experience. Only one dissertation written by V. Malonaitienė was defended, several tens of scientific articles were written, publications of didactic type for history teachers and students were published during roughly two decades. As an academic discipline, history didactics was targeted at history teaching and established itself as a certain think tank at Lithuanian University of Educational Sciences, where most papers of scientific and methodological type were published by the lecturers S. Stašaitis, E. Bakonis and B. Šetkus. However, generally speaking, the research area of history didactics is not popular and its development is in the hands of several people only. As regards future prospects, the research on history didactics should be focused on the transition from the classical education paradigm to the interpretive paradigm. In the aftermath of this process, the research helping to correct the goals of history teaching and their implementation and the research describing the relevant teaching content as well as the research explaining the role of the teacher and the pupils in the process of history teaching and learning under the influence of globalization are required.
