• Examples listed:
  • fossils
  • manuscripts
  • private letters
  • stones with letters
  • official documents

Secondary Sources (Jumbo Secunda / Secunda)

• Sources that have been processed/published and are available to the public.
• Examples listed:
  • books
  • journals
  • encyclopedias
  • magazines

Key lesson:

• Primary sources are studied to find valid evidence.
• Secondary sources help researchers:
  • find more information,
  • compare viewpoints, and
  • conduct historical investigation.

5) Research in History: Methods and Steps

The subtitles mention historians use three methods (terminology was garbled in parts), described as:

• Documentary study / written sources
• Archaeological investigation
• Oral sources approach

Process for Researching Written Sources (clear instructional flow)

• Identify the source for an event
  • determine the figure or institution involved.
• Obtain and validate the written source
  • ensure the source is legitimate/reliable.
• Collect and store information
  • gather materials in one place.
• Use appropriate equipment/technology
  • including information and communication technology and educational tools.
• Analyze information based on the sources
  • interpret materials to assess facts.

Oral “Kaaba” Process (clear 3-stage instructional list)

• Stage 1: Preparation
  • determine the character/informant
  • determine the topic/case the informant will encounter
  • choose historical-type questions
• Stage 2: Cave meeting (oral interview/meeting)
  • research written sources first
  • approach/convince the informant for cooperation
  • explain and respect the objectives of the study
• Stage 3: Processing recordings
  • make a list of recordings
  • copy/edit the recordings
  • keep records well and use them for assessment

Archaeological Searching and Interpretation

• “Geology” is mentioned as a scientific way to search for information from historical remains.
• Examples of historical remains used as evidence:
  • fossils
  • pottery
  • metal materials
  • stone structures
• Interpretation in history:
  • aims to explain or review historical facts using related sources
  • involves:
    • selecting sources,
    • comparing different views/ideologies, and
    • considering the purpose of writing
• Lesson:
  • Use multiple sources to produce research with solid evidence.
  • The same event can be seen from different angles.
  • Be open-minded and critical.

6) Example Interpretations Given

• Example: resistance events in Pasir Putih, Kelantan
  • subtitles mention differing reasons from local vs. western observers:
    • local observers: opposition linked to land and forest product taxes by PH WTS (acronym meaning unclear)
    • western observers: the rise of Tokyo described as a “rebellion” (subtitles contain likely transcription issues)
