Teaching Social Studies in Secondary Schools

M.A. Khan (Author)

Synopsis The world now has become a global village and the students of secondary schools are expected to know more and more about this global village. There have been far reaching changes in the world after World War II and the entire landscape of the world civilization has changed, which needs to be comprehended by the students of the secondary schools. It is quite interesting and surprising that in Delhi to quote and example, social studies is a compulsory subject at the secondary level, but the results of the secondary school examinations are rather very low. Students dread appearing social studies. Especially the science students who are very good at science subjects, find themselves in a very embarrassing position in social studies. But that should not discourage the curriculum planners. There is something lacking in the teaching methods. Secondary school social studies curriculum should include world civilization, world geography and social history of various countries according to the location of the country concerned.
