Answer: Social studies as defined by the American National Council for social studies (1992) is “the integrated study of the social sciences and humanities to promote civic competence”. Civic competence refers to the knowledge of rights and duties of citizens.According to Social Studies in Washington state “social studies comprises the study of relationships among people,and between people and the environment,it recognises the challenges and benefits of living in diverse,cultural and ideological society”.Another definition of social studies given by Barth (1993) who agrees with NCSS definition says “social studies is the interdisciplinary integration of social science and humanities concepts for the purpose of practising problem solving and decision making for developing citizenship skills on critical social issues“ A working definition of social studies is – it is the study of people both presently and in the past and it equips children with the necessary knowledge of social issues in their community ,society and world to make them well informed and righteous citizens.
