CBSE Class-12 Syllabus 2019-20 (Psychology)

Psychology is introduced as an elective subject at the higher secondary stage of school education. As a discipline, psychology specializes in the study of experiences, behaviours, and mental processes of human beings within a socio-cultural historical context. This course purports to introduce the learners to the basic ideas, principles, and methods in Psychology. The emphasis is to create interest and exposure needed by learners to develop their own knowledge base and understanding.
The course deals with psychological knowledge and practices which are contextually rooted. It emphasizes the complexity of behavioural processes and discourages simplistic cause-effect thinking. This is pursued by encouraging critical reasoning, allowing students to appreciate the role of cultural factors in behaviour, and illustrating how biology and experiences shape behaviour.
It is suggested that the teaching - learning processes should involve students in evolving their own understanding, therefore, teaching of Psychology should be based on the use of case studies, narratives, experiential exercises, analysis of common everyday experiences, etc.

Objectives:

• To develop appreciation about human mind and behaviour in the context of learners’ immediate society and environment.
• To develop in learners an appreciation of the nature of psychological knowledge and its application to various aspects of life.
• To enable learners to become perceptive, socially aware and self-reflective.
• To facilitate students’ quest for personal growth and effectiveness, and to enable them to become responsive and responsible citizens.

CBSE Class-11 Syllabus 2019-20 (Geography)

Rationale :

Geography is introduced as an elective subject at the senior secondary stage. After ten years of general education, students branch out at the beginning of this stage and are exposed to the rigors of the discipline for the first time.

CBSE Class-12 Syllabus 2019-20 (Geography)

Geography is introduced as an elective subject at the senior secondary stage. After ten years of general education, students branch out at the beginning of this stage and are exposed to the rigors of the discipline for the first time. Being an entry point for the higher education, students choose Geography for pursuing their academic interest and, therefore, need a broader and deeper understanding of the subject. For others, geographical knowledge is useful in daily lives because it is a valuable medium for the education of young people. Its contribution lies in the content, cognitive processes, skills and values that Geography promotes and thus helps the students explore, understand and evaluate the environmental and social dimensions of the world in a better manner.

Since Geography explores the relationship between people and their environment, it includes studies of physical and human environments and their interactions at different scales-local, state/region, nation and the world. The fundamental principles responsible for the varieties in the distributional pattern of physical and human features and phenomena over the earth's surface need to be understood properly. Application of these principles would be taken up through selected case studies from the world and India. Thus, the physical and human environment of India and study of some issues from a geographical point of view will be covered in greater detail. Students will be exposed to different methods used in geographical nvestigations.

Objectives:

The course in Geography will help learners to:

• Familiarise with key concepts, terminology and core principles of Geography.
• Describe locations and correlate with Geographical Perspectives.
• List/describe what students might see, hear, smell, at a place.
• List/describe ways a place is linked with other places.
• Compare conditions and connections in one place to another.
• Analyze/describe how conditions in one place can affect nearby places.
• Identify regions as places that are similar or connected.
• Describe and interpret the spatial pattern features on a thematic map.
• Search for, recognize and understand the processes and patterns of the spatial arrangement of the
• natural features as well as human aspects and phenomena on the earth's surface.
• Understand and analyses the inter-relationship between physical and human environments and utilise
• such knowledge in reflecting on issues related to community.
• Apply geographical knowledge and methods of inquiry to emerging situations or problems at different levels-local, regional, national and global.
• Develop geographical skills, relating to collection, processing and analysis of spatial data/ information
• and preparation of report including maps and graphs and use of computers where ever possible; and to be sensitive to issues.

CBSE Class-12 Syllabus 2019-20 (Political Science)

Rationale

At the senior secondary level students who opt Political Science are given an opportunity to get introduced to the diverse concerns of a Political Scientist. At this level there is a need to enable students to engage with political processes that surround them and provide them with an understanding of the historical context that has shaped the present. The different courses introduce the students to the various streams of the discipline of Political Science: Political Theory, Indian Politics and International Politics. Concerns of the other two streams - Comparative Politics and Public Administration- are accommodated at different places in these courses.

CBSE Class-12 Syllabus 2019-20 (Economics)

Rationale

Economics is one of the social sciences, which has great influence on every human being. As economic life and the economy go through changes, the need to ground education in children’s own experience becomes essential. While doing so, it is imperative to provide them opportunities to acquire analytical skills to observe and understand the economic realities.
At senior secondary stage, the learners are in a position to understand abstract ideas, exercise the power of thinking and to develop their own perception. It is at this stage, the learners are exposed to the rigour of the discipline of economics in a systematic way.
The economics courses are introduced in such a way that in the initial stage, the learners are introduced to the economic realities that the nation is facing today along with some basic statistical tools to understand these broader economic realities. In the later stage, the learners are introduced to economics as a theory of abstraction.
The economics courses also contain many projects and activities. These will provide opportunities for the learners to explore various economic issues both from their day-to-day life and also from issues, which are broader and invisible in nature. The academic skills that they learn in these courses would help to develop the projects and activities. The syllabus is also expected to provide opportunities to use information and communication technologies to facilitate their learning process.

Objectives:

• Understanding of some basic economic concepts and development of economic reasoning which the learners can apply in their day-to-day life as citizens, workers and consumers.
• Realisation of learners’ role in nation building and sensitivity to the economic issues that the nation is facing today.
• Equipment with basic tools of economics and statistics to analyse economic issues. This is pertinent for even those who may not pursue this course beyond senior secondary stage.
• Development of understanding that there can be more than one view on any economic issue and necessary skills to argue logically with reasoning.
