This document is a submission by Akhila P R about the spiral approach to teaching social science. It introduces the spiral approach as devising a strategy for continuous, unbroken learning of social science subjects through different educational stages. It then discusses that in primary classes, children begin developing simple generalizations about daily human activities. The key merits of the spiral approach are that it makes social science immediately interesting and helps pupils correlate phenomena with humanity's real life. The main limitations are the difficulty initially giving a clear picture of problems considering all details, and developing a sense of time and space in pupils.
