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.

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
