NATURE OF SOCIAL SCIENCE

1. 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”
