(Work Education)

Course Content

The content of Work Education comprises of three categories, i.e.,
A. Self-help Activities: A programme for the satisfaction of day-to day needs of the students and their families.
B. Community Out-reach Activities: A programme for sensitization of the students towards their responsibility to satisfy the community needs.
C. Pre-vocational Skill Development Activities: This is the most important programme as it is designed to prepare the students for the world of work. However, the actual selection of activities/projects/pre- vocational courses by school would depend upon the availability of natural, physical and human resources in the locality, the socioeconomic background of the community and the needs and interests of the students.

Work education is a distinct curricular area for students for participation in social, economic and welfare activities. Student gets a sense of community service and develops self-reliance. Schools should promote Work Education Activities for holistic development of the student. These activities are to be graded on a 5-point grading scale (AtoE) and will have no descriptive indicators. No upscaling of grades will be done. The grading is to be done by the concerned teacher facilitating the activity.

The total number of periods for performance of the work education activities should
be approximately 120 periods for two years at the secondary stage.

SECTION WISE WEIGHTAGE IN WORK EDUCATION (for One Academic Year)

A. Self-help Activities

Intensive projects/prevocational courses in diverse need and occupational areas, to be pursued over a span of time ranging from a few months to the entire two-years duration of the Secondary stage, are clearly the answer for this requirement. Such projects/pre-vocational courses are intended to lead to intensive skill formation and proficiency in work which would be conducive to increased productivity and capacity on the part of students to engage in work which enables them to earn while they learn. This emphasis on intensive skill formation is meant to provide a pre-vocational base to the work education programme at this stage and also to serve as ground preparation for the world for those students who terminate their studies after Class X. For those who continue their education at the Senior School Stage, these pre-vocational courses will serve as preparation for vocational courses at the +2 stage.

The total number of periods for performance of the Pre-vocational Skill Development activities may be 60 periods for two years at the secondary stage Choose any two activities of the following: one is to be completed in class IX and another in class X.

CBSE Class-10 Syllabus 2018-19 (Social Science)

Syllabus :

Rationale

Social Science is a compulsory subject upto secondary stage of school education. It is an integral component of general education because it helps the learners in understanding the environment in its totality and developing a broader perspective and an empirical, reasonable and humane outlook. This is of crucial importance because it helps them grow into well-informed and responsible citizens with necessary attributes and skills for being able to participate and contribute effectively in the process of development and nation- building.

The Social Science curriculum draws its content mainly from Geography, History, Political Science and Economics. Some elements of Sociology and Commerce are also included. Together they provide a comprehensive view of society-over space and time, and in relation to each other. Each subject’s distinct methods of enquiry help the learners to understand society from different angles and form a holistic view.

Objectives
The main objectives of this syllabus are:
• to develop an understanding of the processes of change and development-both in terms of time and space, through which human societies have evolved.
• to make learners realise that the process of change is continuous and any event or phenomenon or issue cannot be viewed in isolation but in a wider context of time and space.
• to develop an understanding of contemporary India with its historical perspective, of the basic framework of the goals and policies of national development in independent India, and of the process of change with appropriate connections to world development.
• to deepen knowledge about and understanding of India’s freedom struggle and of the values and ideals that it represented, and to develop an appreciation of the contributions made by people of all sections and regions of the country.
• to help learners understand and cherish the values enshrined in the Indian Constitution and to prepare them for their roles and responsibilities as effective citizens of a democratic society.
• to deepen the knowledge and understanding of India’s environment in its totality, their interactive processes and effects on the future quality of people’s lives.
• to facilitate the learners to understand and appreciate the diversity in the land and people of the country with its underlying unity.
• to develop an appreciation of the richness and variety of India’s heritage-both natural and cultural and the need for its preservation.
• to promote an understanding of the issues and challenges of contemporary India-environmental, economic and social, as part of the development process.
• to help pupils acquire knowledge, skills and understanding to face the challenges of contemporary society as individuals and groups and learn the art of living a confident and stress-free life as well as participating effectively in the community.
• to develop scientific temper by promoting the spirit of enquiry and following a rational and objective approach in analysing and evaluating data and information as well as views and interpretations.
• to develop academic and social skills such as critical thinking, communicating effectively both in visual and verbal forms- cooperating with others, taking initiatives and providing leadership in solving others’ problems.
• to develop qualities clustered around the personal, social, moral, national and spiritual values that make a person humane and socially effective.
