In presenting historical material, the researcher shall read and classify first the data

gathered into two groups (primary or secondary). Then, in organizing the materials the

researcher shall employ critical analysis which is the detailed examination and evaluation of

another person’s ideas or work. This requires sorting out of the valid facts, classifying them

according to some definite scheme, whether chronological or topical or geographical grouping

them in order, unifying them into paragraphs, passages and chapters and arranging them in such

a manner as to make the narrative a thrilling story. Basically, the presentation of facts is guided

with the research questions formulated.

Another important consideration which a researcher will observe in the presentation of

facts, it must be presented in the most accurate, scientific and interesting manner. In the process,

all the isolated facts are collected into a coherent whole. It is the researcher’s duty to determine

the inclusion of facts, the order of their arrangement, and the nature of their explanation.

Historical interpretation is the process by which we describe, analyze, evaluate, and

create an explanation of past events. Examples of primary sources include letters and diaries;

government, church, and business records; oral histories; photographs, motion pictures, and

videos; maps and land records. Data interpretation is the process of reviewing data through some

predefined processes which will help assign some meaning to the data and arrive at a relevant

conclusion. It involves taking the result of data analysis, making inferences on the relations

studied, and using them to conclude.
