Key Points

Nature of Epistemology

  • Epistemology illustrates all potential domains of knowledge, whether it be religious, political, mathematical, logical, scientific, ethical, or psychological.
  • In epistemology, our primary aim is to find a truth that frees us from falsehood. Hence, It assists us in probing between truth and falsehood.
  • The textbooks are to be considered as tools to help develop perspectives on various contemporary issues. It is expected of learners to understand and apply concepts rather than simply memorize the information of each topic. 
  • The outstanding issue in the teaching of social sciences is how to enable learners to develop a critical understanding of society. As part of the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) - 2005, the National Focus Group Position Paper on Teaching of Social Sciences proposed an epistemological shift.
