while designing the integrated curriculum the boundary of the subject is not mandatory. They try to merge all the discipline within one umbrella. so while designing the integrated the curriculum, now they going through the theme wise where curriculum developer try to accommodate all the information within one theme. also they try to equal representation of information within subject

In the reading intergraded Curriculum perspective for the primary stage of schooling subject are interconnected to each other like Sciences, Social Sciences and Environmental Education.

EVS divided into two parts in primary stage 1-2 and 3-5 grades.

in the primary stage child relate to relationships between the natural, social and cultural surroundings.

the main objectives to kept the integrated curriculum of EVS which come from the NCF is that it help learner to be trained as to comprehend about natural, social and cultural environment ,make them aware about the environmental issues, make them to became a curious and develope the cognitive and psychomotor skills by providing a hands on experiences. but the integrated curriculum is done on the basis of themes not on the basis of topic from different subject like1. Family and Friends which include sub themes (1.1 Relationships; 1.2 Work and Play; 1.3 Animals; 1.4 Plants )2. Food; 3. Shelter; 4. Water; 5. Travel; 6. Things We Make

and Do specially in class3 to 5

Environment studies had been introduced in the primary stage, following the recommendation of NCF 1975. EVS is a combination of science and social science and environmental science. It is an example of integrated curriculum where different subjects are brought under a single roof, wiping out the the watertight boundaries. It is often done not by focusing on concepts but on questions about the world around. Concepts from various subjects are drawn to address these questions, making integration possible.

The syllabus for teaching Environmental Studies at the elementary level is commendable for its integrated approach, drawing from various disciplines to provide students with a holistic understanding of the world. By incorporating themes that resonate with children's experiences and encouraging hands-on learning, it facilitates active engagement and deepens comprehension. I appreciate how it progresses over three years, gradually broadening students' perspectives from self-awareness to societal contexts, fostering empathy and critical thinking along the way. Moreover, the emphasis on sensory experiences and social interactions aligns well with contemporary educational principles, promoting experiential learning and collaborative exploration. Overall, it presents a comprehensive framework for interdisciplinary education and meaningful learning experiences.

NCF 2005 has presented some objectives for strengthening the integrated approach of environmental studies which shows how science and social sciences should be taught so that children can be able to build a bridge or connection between the natural, cultural and social world. This will make them more thoughtful and develop certain skills like creativity, curiosity and cognitive capacity.

To achieve the integration of EVS, different specialists from different disciplines of science and social sciences tried to see what topics should be included in EVS syllabus. If we see their ideas that this will create a complexity in the integration of Evs, as different disciplines will have different topics and they will lack that  interconnection between the subjects and also not related to the child’s own real world and experiences, which will result in creating a loophole in the integration of science and social sciences. So, instead of topics, some specific “themes” are suggested to be taught in EVS so that integration can be made possible. The given syllabus also tries to follow the same approach but at the same time it argues that it does not claim to provide full satisfactory result in integration of subjects.

EVS curriculum का अध्ययन करने का मतलब यह देखना है कि पर्यावरण के बारे में पढ़ाने के लिए science, social studies geography and morality जैसे विभिन्न विषय एक साथ कैसे आते हैं। यह चीजों को करके सीखने और उनके बारे में ध्यानपूर्वक सोचने के बारे में है। जब पर्यावरण की बात आती है तो हम यह भी सोचते हैं कि क्या सही है और क्या गलत। लक्ष्य छात्रों को यह महसूस कराने में मदद करना है कि वे बदलाव ला सकते हैं और अपने आसपास की दुनिया का ख्याल रख सकते हैं। शिक्षक इस बारे में सोच सकते हैं कि ईवीएस पाठ्यक्रम कितनी अच्छी तरह काम कर रहा है और क्या काम कर रहा है और क्या सुधार किया जा सकता है, इसे देखकर इसे और बेहतर बनाने के तरीके ढूंढ सकते हैं।

The NCF 2005 promotes an Inegrated approach where science and social science combined as environmental science to give holistic understanding of environmental issues for students. Students will get a deeper understanding of the topics. This approach aims to build skills like creativity, curiosity and application of knowledge across multiple domains, empowering students to analyze issues from diverse perspectives and to give innovative solutions. Students with this approach can become thoughtful individuals to address environmental issues.

There will be subject specific knowledge and skills in subject-based curriculum, which develops specialized knowledge in that subject. Every subject will be taught separately with distinct objectives. I went through the History curriculum, where themes are developed to give depth and breadth information to develop a greater understanding of topics in that subject.

1. Subject-based curriculum:

In a subject-based curriculum, the content is organized around different subjects such as mathematics, science, arts, social studies, etc. In this, each subject is taught separately. The curriculum generally follows a linear progression. In this, every subject area is studied in depth.

2. Integrated Curriculum:

An integrated curriculum is designed by combining content and instruction from multiple subject areas. Rather than teaching subjects in isolation, subjects are explored through a multidisciplinary lens, providing students with opportunities to make connections between different areas of knowledge.

While subject-based curriculum organizes content around individual subjects, integrated curriculum integrates content from multiple subjects to create a more holistic and interconnected learning experience.
