Abstract

Social science is viewed as a discipline that is redundant, theoretic, and content-heavy. Such claims have been acknowledged since NCF 2005, and curriculum-forming committees have made steps to improve the methodologies and restore the subject’s lost significance. The use of Art Integration is emphasized in New Education Policy 2020, and teachers are urged to involve pupils in artistic forms of teaching and learning. The use of Art Integration techniques in social science is anticipated to deepen learning and add depth to the cultural environment. This paper records perspectives of the students and teacher trainees in relation to the effective and suitable usage of Art Integration in real-world classroom settings. The paper also examines the challenges which come up during Art Integration activities. Further, this study provides a number of recommendations that would enhance the implementation of arts-integration activities in social science and other subjects as well.
