Context Analysis
 Context analysis considers the time and place the historical document
was written as well as the situation or the circumstances during the
time.
 Works pertaining to events in the past are analyzed by also taking into
account the author of the document, his/her biological background, role
in the event, and the intent for writing the document
Two other questions to consider when doing a context analysis:

1. How authoritative is the account/source?
2. How is it relevant today?
Learning History
 Learning Outcomes
at the end of this lesson, you should be able
to:
1. Demonstrate an understanding of history
2. Explain the significance of history
 It is the historians duty to draw insights from the dates
and realities that have shaped the lives of men and
women and the society. And in understanding these
ideas, historians (or in fact students of history) can
comprehend how situations happened, identify their
elements, and think how these situations can solve
today’s predicaments and help plan for the future.
The study of history is the study of beliefs and desires,

practices, and institutions of human beings.
Why study history?
 An examination of the past can tell us a great deal about how we came
to be who we are. It means looking at the roots of modern institutions,
ideas, values, and problems.
 Looking at the past teaches us to see the world through different eyes –
appreciating the delivery of human perceptions, beliefs, and cultures.
Different and/or new perspective will enable us to analyze critically the
present contexts of society and beings.
Meaning of history
 Greek word istoia meaning learning

 Aristotle - history meant a systematic account of a set of natural
phenomena, whether or not chronological factoring was a factor in the
account
 Latin word Scientia (English science) came to be used more regularly to
designate non chronological systematic accounts of natural phenomena
and the word history was reserve usually for accounts of phenomena
(especially human affairs) in chronological order.
 Common definition, the word history now means, “the past of mankind”.
