NATURE OF SOCIAL SCIENCE


A unique combination of various disciplines.

  • Interdisciplinary Nature: Social Science, while a distinct subject, harmoniously blends various disciplines such as History, Geography, Political Science, Economics, Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology, Law, Literature, Art, and Education.

  • Integrated Information: It gathers interrelated information from these diverse fields and integrates them meaningfully.

  • Holistic Understanding: This integration provides new insights into the complete nature of social life.

  • Guidance for Learning: To achieve this harmonious blend, learners must be guided through reflective thinking, inquiry, hypothesis formation, verification, and generalization.

  • Mastering Learning Strategies: Essentially, students need to master the "strategy for learning to learn," which leads to metacognition.

  • Claim to be a Science: Only by adopting these scientific learning approaches can Social Science truly be considered a "real Science”

A study of human relationships:

  • It is the study of man and his relationship with other human beings and his environment. 

  • It deals with individuals for the purpose of securing additional light on the larger social relations, classes, groups, institutions, traditions, organisations, etc. 

  • Scientific analysis and integration of these relationships are needed for a complete view.
