History

PROJECT WORK INTRODUCTION History is one of the most important disciplines in school education. It is the study of the past, which helps us to understand our present and shape our future. It promotes the acquisition and understanding of historical knowledge in breath and in depth across cultures. The course of history in senior secondary classes is to enable students to know that history is a critical discipline, a process of enquiry, a way of knowing about the past rather than just a collection of facts. The syllabus helps them to understand the process, through which a historian collects, chooses, scrutinizes and assembles different types of evidences to write history. The syllabus in class-XI is organized around some major themes in world history. In class XII the focus shifts to a detailed study of some themes in ancient, medieval and modern Indian history. CBSE has decided to introduce project work in history for classes XI and XII in 2013-14 as a part of regular studies in classroom, as project work gives students an opportunity to develop higher cognitive skills. It takes students to a life beyond text books and provides them a platform to refer materials, gather information, analyze it further to obtain relevant information and decide what matter to keep and hence understand how history is constructed. OBJECTIVES

Project work will help students:

To develop skill to gather data from a variety of sources, investigate diverse viewpoints and arrive at logical deductions.

To develop skill to comprehend, analyze, interpret, evaluate historical evidence and understand the limitation of historical evidence.

To develop 21st century managerial skills of co-ordination, self-direction and time management.

To learn to work on diverse cultures, races, religions and lifestyles.

To learn through constructivism-a theory based on observation and scientific study.

To inculcate a spirit of inquiry and research.

To communicate data in the most appropriate form using a variety of techniques.

To provide greater opportunity for interaction and exploration.

To understand contemporary issues in context to our past.

To develop a global perspective and an international outlook.

To grow into caring, sensitive individuals capable of making informed, intelligent and independent choices.

To develop lasting interest in history discipline. GUIDELINES TO STUDENTS
