Learning Module 1 Surigao State College of Technology MODULE 1 TITLE: Relevant Sources TOPICS: Primary and Secondary Sources Internal and External Criticism Online Resources TIME FRAME: 8 hours INTRODUCTION: This chapter introduces relevant sources in writing history. Since history deals with the past, historians need historical sources as their important research tools in analyzing this subject. Historical sources can be classified between primary and secondary sources. The definition, distinction, and examples of primary and secondary sources will be thoroughly discussed in this chapter. Both sources are useful in writing and learning history. However, to avoid deception, historians and students need to conduct internal and external criticism. Students need also to evaluate online resources as they relied on the internet in finding information. With a given example of a relevant source, students may evaluate and understand the importance of having an authentic source. INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES: In this lesson, learners will be able to: a. explain the difference between primary and secondary sources; b. evaluate historical data through internal and external criticism; and, c. apply the tips for checking the reliability of online resources.

RELEVANT SOURCES 1.1 Primary vs. Secondary Sources: Its Definition and Distinction In the study of history as an academic discipline, one needs to know primary and secondary sources. A primary source provides direct or firsthand evidence about an event, an object, a person. or a work of art. These primary sources provide the original materials on which other research is based and enable students and other researchers to get as close as possible to what actually happened during a particular event or era. Published materials can be viewed as primary sources as long as they come from the time period that is being discussed, and were written or produced by someone with firsthand experience of the event. History as an academic discipline heavily relies on primary sources, as evaluated by a community of scholars, who report their findings in books, articles, and papers. As one historian says, “Primary sources are absolutely fundamental to history.” Generally, a historian capitalizes on all available primary sources that were created by the people involved at the time being studied. In reality, some sources have been destroyed, while others are not available for research. Remember, the printing press was invented way back in the 14th century and was introduced in most countries at the end of that century. The most reliable eyewitness reports of an event may be memoirs, autobiographies, or oral interviews that have taken years or even centuries ago. Manuscripts that are sources for classical texts can be copies of documents or fragments of copies of documents. For this reason, history is usually taught in schools using secondary sources. Arguably many primary sources are withheld by private individuals or groups, others are available in archives, libraries, museums, historical societies, and special collections. These can be public and private. Some are affiliated with universities and colleges, while others are government entities. On the other hand, secondary sources generally describe, discuss, interpret, comment upon, analyze, evaluate, summarize, and process primary sources. In historiography, when a study of history is subject to historical scrutiny, a secondary source becomes a primary source. The historian’s publication can likewise be a primary source. Documentary films are considered secondary or primary sources depending on how much the filmmaker modifies the original source. Whether a source is regarded as primary or secondary in a given context may change, depending upon the present state of knowledge within the field. For example, if a document refers to the contents of a previous but undiscovered letter, that document may be considered ‘primary,’ since it is the closest known thing to an original source, but if the letter is later found, it may then be considered ‘secondary.’ In the next page are the examples of primary and secondary sources. 5 GE Hist – Readings in Philippine History Learning Module 1 Surigao State College of Technology 1.2 Examples of Primary and Secondary Sources Table 1.

Audio recordings, DVDs and video recordings, and music; Government documents (reports, bills, proclamations, hearings); Patents; Technical reports; Scientific journal articles reporting experimental research results; Literary or cultural sources like novels, plays, poems (both published and in manuscript form), television shows, movies, or videos, and paintings; Chronicles or historical accounts; Philosophical treatises or manifestos; Obituaries; Maps and atlases; City directories; Local libraries or historical societies; 6 GE Hist – Readings in Philippine History Learning Module 1 Surigao State College of Technology Finding information about an organization like archives (sometimes held by libraries, institutions, or historical societies); and, Symposia and conference proceedings. Activity 3: Lets-Find-Out: Students may give one specific example of a primary source and its corresponding secondary source derived from it. They need also to explain why it becomes a primary and secondary source. They will pass it online in the assigned post created by the teacher. The rubric below is their guide in giving the appropriate points. Rubric 2pts Answer is incorrect but there is some correct support. 4pts Answer is correct but no support is provided. 6pts Answer is correct and there is some support. 8pts Answer is correct and the support is developed. 10pts Answer is correct and the support is fully developed. Assessment Task (CO-AT1): Students make a comparative analysis between the primary and secondary sources. This is a paired output and students are expected to produce an essay in this analysis. Read how to make the comparative analysis (Gilbert, 2021) and its rubric. Comparative analysis is writing an essay about two things that are being compared and contrasted. It is the same idea in your other classes that you need to compare and contrast two texts, two theories, two scientific processes, etc. Since you are in college, it is expected to produce a higher level of analysis in your writing. Just follow these guidelines and get started! Make your research. You need to make some research for you to have an idea on how to start. However, since the topic was already discussed by the teacher, you can already start writing your analysis. Think for possible similarities and differences. Since there are two things that you need to compare and contrast, you need to make a list of its similarities and differences as your guide in writing your analysis. Write your thesis. You need to write your arguments after knowing the weight of similarities and differences between the two things that you compared. Start writing your paper. There are two main approaches in organizing your comparative analysis. These are the following: Alternating (point-by-point) method: You need to find similar points between the two subjects and alternate writing about each of them. Block (subject-by-subject) method: You will discuss all the first subjects that you chose and then discuss the second one. 7 GE Hist – Readings in Philippine History Learning Module 1 Surigao State College of Technology Always remember, cite your sources: You need to include the sources in writing your comparative analysis to avoid copying someone’s idea.

However, historians and students of history need to thoroughly scrutinize these historical sources to avoid deception and to come up with the 9 historical truth. There are two ways on how to examine historical sources to GE Hist – Readings in Philippine History Learning Module 1 Surigao State College of Technology validate the authenticity of the sources that the historians and students have collected to be used as the reference in the historical account that they are going to publish. These are: Internal Criticism External Criticism - It looks within the data - It applies experimental science itself to try to determine to certify the authenticity of the the truth-facts and the material that holds the data on reasonable interpretation. which historical information will - It includes looking at the be based. apparent or possible - It entails such physical and motives of the person Evaluating technical tests as a dating of paper Historical where a document is written on. providing the data. Data - It involves knowledge of when - It indicates the accuracy, certain things existed or it trustworthiness, and supports the claim whether it is veracity of the materials possible or impossible to exist. on which historical data - It evaluates the authenticity and will be based. genuineness of data. Fig. 1 Evaluating Historical Data In short, external criticism refers to the authenticity of the document. Once a document has been determined to be genuine (external criticism) researchers need to determine if the content is accurate (internal criticism). Both are important in studying history for it is society’s collective memory. Every historian examines the evidence of the past very carefully to describe past events with accuracy. Historians play a major role in our society in the sense that they are the keepers of the most important events in the history of his generation and of the previous generation. To know more about how to evaluate primary and secondary sources, let us consider the guidelines created by the National Library of Jamaica (2013). 2.2 Characteristics of Primary and Secondary Sources How do you know when it is a primary source? First, pay attention to when the source was created. Can you determine if it was created within the time period under study? Did the creator witness the event or participate in the event when it happened? Did you find this primary source at a reputable information unit such as a library, museum, or on the website of a library, museum, educational institution, or government organization? If the answer is YES to all the above questions, then more likely it is a 10 primary source. On the next page are the characteristics of primary sources.

Fig. 2 Characteristics of Primary Sources Although many primary sources contain inaccurate and biased information; they are still useful as they can provide insight into the thinking of that time period. However, the flaws should NOT be overlooked in your interpretation of the source.

However, there is a lot of information that everyone could encounter and it is difficult for us to know what website or articles we need to read and get ample sources. Nowadays, searching on the internet is a convenient one, especially for students who will do some research. Before they will solely rely on the internet’s information, they need to be sure if it is a credible and reliable source. According to William Miller, “Much of what purports to be serious information [on the Web] is simply a junk…” That is why, anyone who has access to a computer and the Internet can put information on the Web, therefore, online resources must carefully be evaluated before being accepted. This is the reality for most students and as a teacher, it is his/her task to let the students know about this. Just like the example below. In Wikipedia, there are some entries that are reliable and some are not. It is because the authors are anonymous and there is no other way to determine their expertise, or the expertise of the Wikipedia’s editor who take a look for the entry. However, Wikipedia editors will post warnings if they think that the entry has weaknesses. In addition, Wikipedia entries tend to be conservative rather than a newer research. That is why, students need to know the tips for checking the reliability of the online sources with these various questions. Below are the tips coming from the Georgetown University Library. Author Is the name of the author/creator on the page? Are his/her credentials listed (occupation, years of experience, position or education)? Is the author qualified to write on the given topic? Why? 16 Is there contact information, such as an email address, somewhere on the page? GE Hist – Readings in Philippine History Learning Module 1 Surigao State College of Technology Is there a link to a homepage? If there is a link to a homepage, is it for an individual or for an organization? If the author is with an organization, does it appear to support or sponsor the page? What does the domain name/URL reveal about the source of the information, if anything? If the owner is not identified, what can you tell about the origin of the site from the address? Note: To find relevant information about the author, check personal homepages on the Web, campus directory entries and information retrieved through search engines. Purpose Knowing the motive behind the page’s creation can help you judge its content. Who is the intended audience? Scholarly audience or experts? General public or novices? If not stated, what do you think is the purpose of the site? Is the purpose to inform or teach? explain or enlighten? persuade? sell a product? Objectivity Is the information covered fact, opinion, or propaganda? Is the author’s point-of-view objective and impartial? Is the language free of emotion-rousing words and bias? Is the author affiliated with an organization? Does the author’s affiliation with an institution or organization appear to bias the information? Does the content of the page have the official approval of the institution, organization, or company? Accuracy Are the sources for factual information clearly listed so that the information can be verified? Is it clear who has the ultimate responsibility for the accuracy of the content of the material? Can you verify any of the information in independent sources or from your own knowledge? Has the information been reviewed or refereed? Is the information free of grammatical, spelling, or typographical errors? 17 GE Hist – Readings in Philippine History Learning Module 1 Surigao State College of Technology Reliability and Credibility Why should anyone believe information from this site? Does the information appear to be valid and well -researched, or is it unsupported by evidence? Are quotes and other strong assertions backed by sources that you could check through other means? What institution (company, government, university, etc.) supports this information? If it is an institution, have you heard of it before? Can you find more information about it? Is there a non-Web equivalent of this material that would provide a way of verifying its legitimacy? Currency If timeliness of the information is important, is it kept up -to- date? Is there an indication of when the site was last updated? Links Are links related to the topic and useful to the purpose of the site? Are links still current, or have they become dead e nds? What kind of sources are linked? Are the links evaluated or annotated in any way? Note: The quality of Web pages linked to the original Web page may vary; therefore, you must always evaluate each Web site independently. For the conclusion, be very critical of any information you find on the Web and carefully examine each site. Activity 6: Video Tutorial: In this activity, students will have a video tutorial about the online application of the tips for checking the reliability of online resources. This is a pair activity in which students are expected to create a comprehensive discussion about finding reliable sources online. Pass your video in the designated post created by the teacher that can be found in the google classroom. A rubric is also provided as your guide in giving the points.

In this chapter, it is important to know the context and content analysis in analyzing historical text. Analyzing the different primary sources may have resulted in understanding the behavior of people in the past and what had happened may create a clear vision in the present happenings.

The following are the selected primary sources to be interpreted: First Voyage Around the World by Antonio Pigafetta; Customs of the Tagalogs by Juan de Placencia; Kartilya ng Katipunan by Emilio Jacinto; Declaration of Philippine Independence; Political Caricatures in the American Era by Alfred W. McCoy; Filipino Grievances Against Gen. Wood (Petition Letter); Pres. Aquino’s Speech Before the U.S. Congress; and a selected documentary film, the Battle of Surigao Strait. These primary sources range from chronicles, official documents, speeches, and cartoons for visual arts. Needless to say, different types of sources necessitate different kinds of analysis and contain different levels of importance. With these, students are expected to understand history much better. INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES: In this lesson, learners will be able to: a. discuss the context and content analysis in analyzing historical texts; and, b. analyze selected sources (textual/video) through context and content analysis.
