| Abstract | Film is a tool used in the social studies classroom, even if it contradicts documented history. Suggestibility, the incorporation of misinformation from historical feature film, is commonplace, and some social studies instructional methods exacerbate inaccurate memories. Existing research indicates that attempts to counter suggestibility have met with limited success. This convergent parallel mixed methods study explored different research strands, using clips of actual footage in tandem with historical feature film clips to counter the historical errors. Data collection for the quantitative and qualitative strands of the study occurred simultaneously, analysis occurred separately, and they converged with meta-inferences inherent to mixed methods research. Qualitative themes suggest a variety of student content understandings and historical understandings from the clips, and illustrated that students can act as historians, which, in turn, suggests that students can act as analytical citizens. Quantitative results determined that actual footage countered suggestibility from historical feature film, and warnings were efficacious in limiting suggestibility when participants viewed the actual footage first. Although not apparent in the quantitative findings, convergent mixed methods findings illustrated that actual footage remained with participants. This study suggests that actual footage should be utilized in the social studies classroom, as it resonates in memory and adds to students' content and historical understandings. The findings illustrate that students need time to ponder the material presented in social studies classes to develop complex historical understandings.
