Rationale After ten years of general education the two years of senior secondary stage aims at initiating the pupil into the study of courses in a few subjects of his/her choice. This stage is very significant both as a terminal stage of school education enabling the pupil to enter life and as a preparatory stage equipping him/her to pursue higher academic studies in a few selected subjects. For the first ten years of schooling, history forms an integral part of the social science curriculum in general education. It aims at introducing the pupil to some of the main trends and developments in the history of India and of the world. History as an independent discipline is being introduced at the senior secondary stage. The pupil may be initiated into a systematic study of the subject for the first time and introduced to the rigours of the discipline. While developing these courses, care has been taken to devise them in conformity with the approaches and findings of modern historical scholarship. Details of dynastic and administrative history and biographical details have been reduced to the minimum and necessary emphasis has been given to the study of social and economic forces, political institutions and cultural and scientific developments. While devising courses in Indian history, an attempt has been made to enable the pupil to develop an understanding of developments in all parts of the country and not only of those areas which were important as centres of large kingdoms and empires. The course on history of the contemporary world aims at promoting an understanding of the contemporary world in a historical perspective. Objectives The objectives of the history courses at this stage may be as follows: • • • •
to initiate the pupil into methods of historical enquiry; to provide authentic historical knowledge and understanding of those regions and periods which the pupil has chosen to study; to develop an attitude of studying the past in its context; to help develop a spirit of enquiry and critical appreciation of the past so that pupil's personality is free from prejudices and bigotry, parochialism and communalism; to help develop an understanding of the importance of historical perspective in the study of contemporary issues and problems.
