dc.description.abstractSocial Studios as a new discipline in the country is presently gaining recognition in both the policy delibrations under the new education system and in a more wider di mention of curriculum development. Going in this perspective are serious shortcomings of most materials produced for the Social Studies programme, prominent among which are the neglect of the role Geography concepts and skills can play in the attainment of Social Studies objectives and the emphasis on facts as against conceptual development. Unknown to many Social Studies teachers, the need for grasping the concept of areal arrangements and distribution of physical and cultural phenomena in space and time as taught in Social Studies has i ts roots in Geography, The Geography concepts inevitably form a part of every Social Studies unit, for in every unit the child learns about interrelationships among a Society, its culture and its environment, and about differences and similarities between places. Suprisingly, a limited knowledge and understanding of geography, its concepts and relationship are provided in the Social Studies programme and its activities. The teachers on the other hand are unfaniliar with the concept:; and methods of geography which reduces it to a memory exercise of loosely organised facts.en_US
