About the Book

Under the aegis of National Curricular Framework 2005 (NCF), radically new textbooks for the social sciences have been published by the National Council of Educational Research and Training. These textbooks present a markedly different approach towards the social sciences and education in general from what was done by NCERT in the past. Teaching Social Science in Schools: NCERT's New Textbook Initiative explains the rationale behind these textbooks and addresses various queries voiced by teachers, parents and students regarding the new approach embedded in them. The book begins by explicating the larger purpose of the NCERT social science textbooks in the promotion of intellectual freedom and critical thinking. It emphasizes that the new generation of textbooks has reinvented teaching and organizing the social science disciplines. The approach taken in the new textbooks is no longer that of just feeding the child information, but of encouraging the child to use it.Apart from this, the book also offers specific guidelines and tips on how to use these textbooks most effectively including tips on evolving a new examination system appropriate to the new learning method, and making classroom teaching more interactive than it is at present. The book is attractively designed as a manual for teachers. The overall style adopted is that of friendly and simple questions and answers, which blend into one another, forming a largely seamless narrative and is profusely illustrated with examples drawn from the NCERT textboooks themselves.

Review :

The book is likely to be a useful resource for those who wish to engage teachers with issues and concerns of Social Science teaching and learning. It fills a major gap in the provision of simply written subject-specific reading materials for school teachers. Organisations such as the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) and Nongovernment organisations (NGOs) that provide in-service and onsite support to teachers as well as schools which look for meaningful engagement for the professional development of teachers will find this book of value.

This book clarifies questions raised by teachers, parents, students and educationists about NCERT’s new textbooks. In a simple, friendly manner, the book puts to rest fears and worries.
