NCERT Exploring Society: India and Beyond CLASS-7 PART-2 TEXTBOOK OF SOCIAL SCIENCE

Description

The Social Science textbook for Grade 7 — Exploring
Society: India and Beyond Part 2 — has been prepared for the second
half of Grade 7. It carries forward the themes and approach of Part 1
of Grade 7, and makes strong linkages with Part 1 of the Grade 8 Social
Science Textbook. The focus is on core concepts and major developments.
It endeavours to keep the students engaged in learning through
illustrations, maps and pictures laid out in an attractive design. There
are abundant reflective exercises and activities embedded in the text
to support exploration, discovery and meaning-making. The thematic
approach with a multidisciplinary lens continues, helping students to
understand ideas and concepts holistically. The text integrates the values
we desire our students to develop, is rooted in the Indian cultural context
and introduces global perspectives in an age-appropriate manner. For
all practical purposes, it has, to my mind, succeeded in its curricular
goals: first, to foster natural curiosity among students through a proper
selection of content, and second, through a pedagogical approach in line
with the recommendations of NCF-SE 2023.
