This module contains lesson on the major events and its contribution that led to
the emergence of the social science disciplines. It is developed for a clearer and more
purposive teaching-learning of the topic.

It includes a pretest that would measure how far you know about the topic, the
concepts that you would need to learn, varied enrichment activities that would allow you
to enhance your reading and writing skills, an application that would deepen your
knowledge about the topic and a post test that would measure what you have learned
from this module.

This module will help you to demonstrate understanding on the following learning
specific objectives:

What is It

HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF THE EMERGENCE OF THE

SOCIAL SCIENCE DISCIPLINES

The focus of the social sciences is on the study of the following:

1. change in human relationship and reinterpretation between the present and past
events;
2. human activities, spatial distributions and interaction of culture, biological and
physical elements;
3. basic social systems, institutions and recesses;
4. relationships between individual and institutions and among political economic and
social institutions; and
5. the nature of societies and authors and the interactions of people with each other
and also their social and physical environment.

A. Definitions of Social Science

1. According to Seligman – Social Sciences are mental or cultural sciences which
deal with the activities of the individual as member of the group. The term social
science thus embrace all those subjects that deal with the relationship of man to
the society.
2. According to Mitchell – Social Science is loosely applied to any kind of study
concerning man and society. It involves application of scientific method to the study
of the intricate and complex network of human relationship and the form of
organization designed to enable people to live together in societies.
3. According to Fairchild – Social Science is a general term for all the sciences which
are concerned with the human affairs.
4. According to Peter Lewis – Social Sciences are concerned with the laws that
govern society and the social department of man.
5. Social Science can be defined as study of men living in society.

Weber (1921) straddles different approaches
but his approach was introduced in to social
science which was later called “hermeneutic” or
“phenomenological” perspectives.
4. Economics soon began to go its own way.
5. Max Weber insisted on another distinction of

C. Various Disciplines in the Field of Social Science
Disciplines
Anthropology - deals with the integration of different aspects
of the social sciences, humanities, and human
biology.
Economics - deals with the ways in which men and
societies seek to satisfy their material needs
and desires. It also seeks to analyze and
describe the production distribution and
consumption of wealth.
Geography - study of the Earth and its lands, features,
inhabitants, and phenomena. Four historical
traditions in geographical research are the
spatial analysis of natural and human
phenomena, area studies (places and
regions), study man-land relationship, and
research in earth sciences.
History - study of the human past.
Linguistics - study of language, sometimes called the “the
science of language” that includes various
fields such as sound (phonetics and
phonology), sentence structure (syntax,
structuralism, deep grammar), meaning
(semantics), practical psychology
(psycholinguistics) and contexts of language
choice (pragmatics).
Political Science - concerned with the theory and practice of
politics and the description and analysis of
political systems and political behavior.
Political science intersects with other fields
including public policy, national polities,
international relations, comparative polities,
and political theory.
Psychology - study of human mental functions and
behaviors. In this field, a professional
practitioner or researcher is a psychologist.
Sociology - study of society.
Demography - discussion of family, city, minorities, and
industrial sociology. It is also the study of
culture, socialization, social stratification, and
others. Thus, demography is part of sociology.
