Abstract:
Education is directly related to the development of an individual and the community. It is
one of the most important single factors for economic development as well as social
emancipation. In school education, social science has been one important subject. Social
science subjects at school level consist of selected themes from History, Sociology,
Geography, Political Science and Economics. These themes are significant for the
organization of society (within and in relation to environment and surroundings) based
on understanding, accommodation, appreciation and co-existence. It sometimes involves
concept and ideas which are significant, contemporary and complex. Dealing with the
subject of social science in school is a challenging task*, for many teachers. Students also
often inadequately comprehend the real issue at hand and mange to settle for the obvious
without digging deep into the themes present in the textbooks. Thus, the need for teacher
training in social science goes without saying
