- 44. Why Use Primary Sources? Advantages • Primary sources provide a window into the past—unfiltered access to the record of artistic, social, scientific and political thought and achievement during the specific period under study, produced by people who lived during that period • these unique, often profoundly personal, documents and objects can give a very real sense of what it was like to be alive during a long-past era.
- 45. Primary Source Disadvantages • Questions of creator bias, purpose, and point of view may challenge students’ assumptions. • Primary sources are often incomplete and have little context. Students must use prior knowledge and work with multiple primary sources to find patterns • In analyzing primary sources, students move from concrete observations and facts to questioning and making inferences about the materials.
- 46. Why Use Secondary Sources? Advantages • Secondary sources can provide analysis, synthesis, interpretation, or evaluation of the original information. • Secondary sources are best for uncovering background or historical information about a topic and broadening your understanding of a topic by exposing you to others’ perspectives, interpretations, and conclusions • Allows the reader to get expert views of events and often bring together multiple primary sources relevant to the subject matter
- 47. Secondary Source Disadvantages • Their reliability and validity are open to question, and often they do not provide exact information • They do not represent first hand knowledge of a subject or event • There are countless books, journals, magazine articles and web pages that attempt to interpret the past and finding good secondary sources can be an issue
