HISTORICAL RESOURCES

INTRODUCTION

 

According to Carr, ‘History is a continuous process of interaction between

the historian and his facts.’ It is an unending dialogue between the past and

present. To know about the dialogues we need the help of Historical resources.

The historical resources like library, museum, caves etc helps the historical

teaching and learning. The history teacher of today is becoming more concerned

with the facilities required for doing good work. The historical resources also help

the teaching.

HISTORY LIBRARY

History library is an important centre of resources for instructional programme in

history. It provides a variety of material for instructional work,guidance to teacher for

curriculam construction and in the selection of good book and help the pupils in

regarding and to adults in the locality ,in counseling and guiding .It lays the

foundation for free enquiry and intellectual development.

LIBRARY AS A RESOURCE CENTRE

Not merley a depository of books history library a resource centre

extensively used by all members.As a resource centre ,it reaches every classroom

,every pupil and teacher and even the community .It helps the teacher to enrich

curriculam and fecilitate personal and professional reading. It helps the student to

gain meaningful experiences in reading,thinking and forming independent

judgements.It provides for recreational and hobby interest to the community. It is

also a store house of all types of teaching aids including maps ,charts, picture,

models, manuscripts etc. Which are easily accessible to all heights and give new

depth to the learning experiences and the personal lives of all students.

History Museum

On the role of school museum the Secondary

2. Education Commission has observed ‘Museum play a great part in the

education of school children on they bring home to them much more vivdly

than any prosaic lectures, discoveries, of the past and various developments

that have taken place in many fields of science and technology’ Again the

commission observes, we believe it is necessary from the educational point of

view to establish such museums in important centers at least wherein both

ancient and modern collection will be exhibited and in some cases even

demonstration given of the actual development of various scientific

discoveries. Nothing can impress students in the formative age so much as

the actual visualizing of these experiments in a graphical manner

museums are made up or materials used in classroom teaching which are collected,

classified and exhibited by students, with or without the help of a teacher. The

museum activities may be an extracurricular function of the class or the school or

they may be incorporated in to a scientific experimental method of teaching.

Objectives:

(1) To form with in the school or the classroom an embryonic community

dedicated to the usual occupations reflected in the school life of adults:

(2) To permit visual instruction and experimentation with actual museum

speciments;

(3) To stimulate enthusiasm for study and research among both teachers and

students;

(4) To stimulate interest, co operation and participation in cultural activities

and scientific research conducted by the larger museums

(5) To instruct students in proper scientific methods of laboratory research

and museum conservation and exhibition techniques

(6) To form in the absence of the larger museums in the community, a

nucleus from which the classroom museum can grow beyond the limits of the

school to serve ultimately the community and the region as whole

CAVES

A cave or cavern is a hollow place in the ground, especially natural underground of

space large enough for a human to enter. Caves form naturally by the weathering of

rock and often extend deep underground. The word “cave” can also refer to much

smaller openings such as sea caves, rock shelters, grottos. In the case of historical

study caves are also help. The most important example for the caves are Ajanta

caves in Maharashtra. From it we get the idea about the people who live that time.

Caves are also help the learning and teaching. At the primitive stage the people use

caves are their houses and they draw pictures on the wall, this help the study of

History, from it we find the culture and nature of primitive man

CONCLUSION

Historical resources also help historical learning and teaching. History is an

unending dialogue between present and past through the historical resources we

also become the part of history or the part of these dialogue. With the help of

historical resources we find the true details about our ancestor.
