SENOR SECONDRY Sociology Curriculum (2024-25)
SENOR SECONDRY Sociology Curriculum (2024-25)
Rationale
Sociology is introduced as an elective subject at the senior secondary stage. The syllabus
is designed to help learners to reflect on what they hear and see in the course of everyday
life and develop a constructive attitude towards society in change; to equip a learner with
concepts and theoretical skills for the purpose. The curriculum of Sociology at this stage
should enable the learner to understand dynamics of human behavior in all its
complexities and manifestations. The learners of today need answers and explanations
to satisfy the questions that arise in their minds while trying to understand social world.
Therefore, there is a need to develop an analytical approach towards the social structure
so that they can meaningfully participate in the process of social change. There is scope
in the syllabus not only for interactive learning, based on exercises and project work but
also for teachers and students to jointly innovate new ways of learning.
Sociology studies society. The child’s familiarity with the society in which she /he
lives in makes the study of Sociology a double edged experience. At one level
Sociology studies institutions such as family and kinship, class, caste and tribe
religion and region- contexts with which children are familiar of, even if
differentially. For India is a society which is varied both horizontally and vertically.
The effort in the books will be to grapple overtly with this both as a source of
strength and as a site for interrogation.
Significantly the intellectual legacy of Sociology equips the discipline with a plural
perspective that overtly engages with the need for defamiliarization, to unlearn and
question the given. This interrogative and critical character of Sociology also
makes it possible to understand both other cultures as well as relearn about one’s
own culture.
This plural perspective makes for an inbuilt richness and openness that not too
many other disciplines in practice share. From its very inception, Sociology has
had mutually enriching and contesting traditions of an interpretative method that
openly takes into account ‘subjectivity’ and causal explanations that pay due
importance to establishing causal correspondences with considerable
sophistication. Not surprisingly its field work tradition also entails large scale survey
methods as well as a rich ethnographic tradition. Indeed Indian Sociology, in
particular has bridged this distinction between what has often been seen as distinct
approaches of Sociology and Social Anthropology. The syllabus provides
ample opportunity to make the child familiar with the excitement of field work as
well as its theoretical significance for the very discipline of Sociology.
The plural legacy of Sociology also enables a bird’s eye view and a worm’s eye
view of the society the child lives in. This is particularly true today when the local
is inextricably defined and shaped by macro global processes.
The syllabus proceeds with the assumption that gender as an organizing principle
of society cannot be treated as an add on topic but is fundamental to the manner
that all chapters shall be dealt with.
The chapters shall seek for a child centric approach that makes it possible to
connect the lived reality of children with social structures and social processes that
Sociology studies.
A conscious effort will be made to build into the chapters a scope for exploration
of society that makes learning a process of discovery. A way towards this is to deal
with sociological concepts not as givens but a product of societal actions humanly
constructed and therefore open to questioning.
