The aim of this study is to identify the views of high school and high school students on the history they obtain from their families. The research is carried out by the quality of the research method and the comprehensive multi-state draft of the state study.

The study found that a significant portion of students, including those in high school, had talks about history with family members. High school students' families are discussing general topics such as Ottoman and Islamic history, while high school students' families are discussing family history topics such as memories of military and ancient days. The idea that the whole of the students are big in the family members with the age and therefore have more information about the past and most of their grandparents have confident in the history information they have given. All of the high school students and a large proportion of high school students, especially their teachers, have more information about history and find the history information they obtain in the school more reliable than the information they obtain from their family members because they are given the accurate information on the basis of evidence in their educational institutions. Finally, a significant portion of high school students have expressed that the historical information they obtain from their family members because of their different narrative styles they qualify as more fun and enjoyable, while the majority of high school students have expressed that the historical information they learn in school is more enjoyable because of some reasons, such as being with their friends in the classroom.
