Students have varied notions about the word “History”. Some jump into describing it
“as events or things about the past” while others said “it is all about memorizing, that is
why it is boring and not really that important”. The first sentence “about the past” is a
correct description of history, but it is a general definition. While the second sentence
“about memorizing” is in the manner of teaching history, students may become victims of
teacher’s misconception in teaching History.
In this section, we are not going to “memorize” but to understand “the past”. In
order to do that, we should learn first the basics in understanding history.
Traditionally, history is the “record of the past” or “record of the human past
from time written records began to appear” while the modern definition describes
history as the “reconstruction of the past, the study of event concerning people in
the past” or “interpretative and imaginative study of surviving records of the
past, either written or unwritten, in order to determine the meaning and scope
of human existence” (Funtecha & Padilla, 2010). The reason in the change of definition is
because in traditional definition, it implies “no record, no history”. And all of us knew
that, not all things or events in the past had been put to record, that is why, the words
reconstruction, interpretation and imagination (a scientific imagination based on evidences,

not on anything that the any person imagines) had been included in the definition to
provide wider meaning and scope in the study of the human past.
The Greek word historia originally meant inquiry, the act of seeking knowledge, as
well as, the knowledge that results from inquiry (Gottschalk, 1950). It means that not all
that were told is historical unless it was carefully studied and investigated and supported by
facts and evidences.

time period that you are studying. Examples include diaries, letters, interviews, oral
histories, photographs, government documents, etc.
Secondary Sources refer to the testimony of anyone who is not an eyewitness –
that is, one who is not present at the event of which he tells (Gottschalk, 1950). These are
books, articles, and scholarly journals that had interpreted the primary sources or had used
them to discuss certain subjects of history (Torres, 2018).

5. ___________ When two sources disagree and there is no other means of evaluation,
then historians take the source which benefit the best interest of the historian.
6. ___________ If a source is an oral transmission of information, then, automatically, it is
not a legitimate source.
7. ___________ If the person who personally witness a murder but has personal grudge
on the murderer but was made a witness still, his testimony has unquestionable
credibility.
8. ___________ If the source is the pronouncement of government official whose basis is
his own words of assurance, then, therefore, it is a reliable source.
9. ___________ If it can be demonstrated that the witness or source has no direct interest
in creating bias then the credibility of the message decreases.
10. ___________ If a person identifies another as a criminal, then he tells the authority
about the matter. Automatically, the person is really a criminal, and thereby, should be
arrested.
