PODRA, JEZELLE R. PETE-1102 LESSON 1: HISTORY: INTRODUCTION AND GOAL OF HISTORICAL HISTORICAL SOURCES PRIMARY HISTORICAL CRITICISM is to discover the text primitive or HISTORY original historical context and its study and interpretation by a historian literal sense. on the data and other source of the SECONDARY HISTORICAL past CRITICISM the word history came from the Greek word Historia which means inquiry. Clearly the establish a reconstruction of word Historia does not mean past events. It historical situation of the author and denotes asking question or investigation of recipients of the text. the past done by person trained to do so or by TWO TYPES OF CRITICISM persons who are interested in human past.

For example if the Since external criticism is concern with the event cited in the document is prior to the explicit sign of misrepresentation, it is the actual event, then the document must be first test the historian employ to ascertain forge or fake. sources validity. The FIFTH TEST of authenticity is the TEST OF AUTHENTICITY provenance or custody of the document.

Case Studies Case studies, one of the most common qualitative designs, are used to examine a person, group, community or institution. Researchers often use a bounded theory approach that confines the case study in terms of time or space. To conduct the case study, the researcher may draw upon multiple sources of data, such as observation, interviews and documents. All participants chosen must share a unifying factor, which means they all must have a direct or indirect connection to the research question or subject being studied. After collecting the data, the researcher will analyze it to identify common
