What is Historical Research? It is the procedure in which a researcher collects and evaluates data to understand reports or observation made by others. It test hypotheses concerning causes, effects or trends that may help to explain present events and anticipate future events.

Purpose of Historical Research To learn from past successes and failures. Learn how things were done in the past and apply them to current or future events. To assist in prediction. Lead to the confirmation or rejection of relational hypotheses. Understand the present practices and policies by understanding the history surrounding them.

Steps Involved in Historical Research Definition of the problem Formulation of questions to be answered or hypotheses to be tested. Systematic collection of data. Primary Research Secondary Research Evaluation of data. Presenting and interpreting the information as it relates to the hypotheses.

Sources of Information Primary Eye or ear witnesses Original documents such as Secondary Copies of objects Second hand information Textbooks Periodicals Newspapers Encyclopedias Review of research and other references

Evaluating Historical Sources External Criticism Authentic? Genuine? Internal Criticism Accurate? Meaning?

External Criticism Who wrote the document? For what purpose was the document written? When was the document written? Where was the document written? Under what conditions was the document written? Do different forms or versions of the document exist?

Internal Criticism What was meant by the author? How much credibility can be given to the author? What was the author trying to say? How could the authors word be interpreted? Does the document contain bias of any sort?

Data Analysis in Historical Research Methodology to synthesize a very large amount of data into a meaningful narrative Organize information into categories Locate patterns or themes Develop a coding system

Advantages of Historical Research Allows investigation of topics and questions that can be studied in no other way. Study evidence from the past. Make use of different kinds of evidence. Provide a rich source of information.

Disadvantages of Historical Research Threats to internal validity Limitations of the sample and instrumentation Can not ensure representativeness of the sample Unable to check the reliability and validity Bias of the researcher

An Example of Historical Research This study compared the similarities between inquiry-based and problem-solving methods and their potential for improving student performance. The data was collected by collating research reported by both science and agricultural educators who had investigated and applied both the inquiry-based and problem-solving methods to increase student success. The literature reviewed included dissertations, national reports, articles from professional journals and magazines, books, on-line Internet and other related resources.
