HUMANITIES
POLITICAL SCIENCE
PROJECT WORK
GUIDELINES FOR PROJECT WORK
Project Work: 20 Marks
Rationale
Political Science as a field of study in senior secondary classes enables students to get an exposure
to political activities and processes that they are exposed to in everyday life. The study of political
science has emerged as a multifaceted discipline, involving contemporary interdisciplinary
approaches and empirical framework, emphasizing more on fieldwork rather than theoretical
perceptions. The connection between government and citizen ensures the emergence of an active
and reflective citizens and vibrant democracy. CBSE has therefore incorporated project work in
Political Science to enable students to extend their interest beyond textbooks and provide them with
a platform to gather information, value the decisions made to shape the community and visualize
future courses of action to be taken to ensure healthy democracy.
Objectives of project work:
• To enable learners to probe deeper, initiate action and reflect on knowledge and skills acquired
during the course of class XI and XII
• To analyze and evaluate real world scenarios using social constructivism, a theory based on
observation and scientific study
• To become independent and empowered to choose their topic and gather data from a variety of
source, investigate varied viewpoints acquired during the course XI-XII and arrive at logical
deductions.
• To enquire into, and reflect on, issues independently /in collaboration with others and identify the
limitations
• To develop 21st century skills of communication, cooperation, coordination, critical thinking,
creativity and collaboration to produce an extended and independent work
General Instructions:
a) The project should be handwritten.
b) It should be well presented, researched, and pictorial.
c) Cover page, certificate, table of contents, acknowledgements, bibliography, headings and
sub – headings are a must.
d) Each section should be done on white/colored A4 sized sheets.
e) It should be presented in a file.
f) It should not exceed 25 pages.
g) The project carries 20 marks:

HISTORY
The course of history in senior secondary classes is to enable students to know that history is a
critical discipline, a process of enquiry, a way of knowing about the past rather than just a collection
of facts. The syllabus helps them to understand the process, through which a historian collects,
chooses, scrutinizes and assembles different types of evidence to write history.
The syllabus in class XII is a detailed study of some themes in ancient, medieval, and modern
Indian history.

Project work will help students:

❖ To develop skill to gather data from a variety of sources, investigate diverse viewpoints
and arrive at logical deductions.
❖ To develop skill to comprehend, analyze, interpret, evaluate historical evidence, and
understand the limitation of historical evidence.
❖ To develop 21st century managerial skills of co-ordination, self-direction, and time
management.
❖ To learn to work on diverse cultures, races, religions, and lifestyles.
❖ To learn through constructivism-a theory based on observation and scientific study.
❖ To inculcate a spirit of inquiry and research.
❖ To communicate data in the most appropriate form using a variety of techniques.
❖ To provide greater opportunity for interaction and exploration.
❖ To understand contemporary issues in context to our past.
❖ To develop a global perspective and an international outlook.
❖ To grow into caring, sensitive individuals capable of making informed, intelligent, and
independent choices.
