Psychology

 
Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and its behavior. Psychology is introduced as an elective subject at the higher secondary stage of school education. As a discipline, Psychology specializes in the study of experiences, behaviors, and mental processes of human beings within a socio-cultural historical context. The course deals with psychological knowledge and practices which are contextually rooted. It emphasizes the complexity of behavioral processes and discourages simplistic cause-effect thinking. This is pursued by encouraging critical reasoning, allowing students to appreciate the role of cultural factors in behavior, and illustrating how biology and experiences shape behavior
