NCERT Exploring Society: India and Beyond CLASS-7 PART-1 TEXTBOOK OF SOCIAL SCIENCE

Description

The Social Science textbook for Grade 7—Exploring Society:
India and Beyond Part 1 has been prepared for the second year of the
middle stage. It carries forward the themes and approach of Grade 6; 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.
