GPTR Social Science Reference Books & Study Material
ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಶಾಲಾ ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ ಇಲಾಖೆಯ GPTR Social Science ಪರೀಕ್ಷೆಗೆ ಸಿದ್ಧತೆ ನಡೆಸುತ್ತಿರುವ ಅಭ್ಯರ್ಥಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಸರಿಯಾದ reference books ಮತ್ತು ಮೂಲ ಅಧ್ಯಯನ ಸಾಮಗ್ರಿಗಳನ್ನು ಆಯ್ಕೆ ಮಾಡುವುದು ಬಹಳ ಮುಖ್ಯ.
ಈ ಅಧಿಕೃತ 20 ಪುಟಗಳ ದಾಖಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ GPTR Social Scienceಗೆ ಶಿಫಾರಸು ಮಾಡಿರುವ ಶಾಲಾ ಹಂತದ Social Science textbooks, PUC textbooks ಹಾಗೂ Social Science Pedagogyಗೆ ಸಂಬಂಧಿಸಿದ reference booksಗಳನ್ನು ನೀಡಲಾಗಿದೆ.
ಈ ಪೋಸ್ಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಮೊದಲು Reference Books & Study Material ಅನ್ನು ನೀಡಲಾಗಿದೆ. ನಂತರ ಅಭ್ಯರ್ಥಿಗಳು ಯಾವ ಪುಸ್ತಕವನ್ನು ಯಾವ ವಿಭಾಗಕ್ಕೆ ಬಳಸಬಹುದು ಎಂಬುದನ್ನು ಅರ್ಥಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಸಂಬಂಧಿಸಿದ syllabus ವಿಷಯಗಳನ್ನು ನೀಡಲಾಗಿದೆ.
ಅಧಿಕೃತ PDFನಲ್ಲಿ ನೀಡಿರುವ reference books ಪಟ್ಟಿಯನ್ನು ಮೊದಲ ಆದ್ಯತೆಯ ಅಧ್ಯಯನ ಸಾಮಗ್ರಿಯಾಗಿ ಪರಿಗಣಿಸಬಹುದು. ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಪುಸ್ತಕಗಳನ್ನು ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗಿ ಖರೀದಿಸಿ ಓದುವುದು ಕಡ್ಡಾಯ ಎಂಬುದಾಗಿ ಈ ದಾಖಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿಲ್ಲ.
ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ಅಭ್ಯರ್ಥಿಗಳು ತಮ್ಮ ಲಭ್ಯವಿರುವ ಸಮಯ, ವಿಷಯದ ಬಲ-ದುರ್ಬಲತೆ ಮತ್ತು syllabus coverage ಆಧರಿಸಿ ಪುಸ್ತಕಗಳನ್ನು ಆಯ್ಕೆ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡು ಅಧ್ಯಯನ ಮಾಡುವುದು ಸೂಕ್ತ.
ಅಧಿಕೃತ reference listನ ಮೊದಲ ಭಾಗವೇ 6ನೇ ತರಗತಿಯಿಂದ 10ನೇ ತರಗತಿಯವರೆಗೆ Social Science textbooks ಮತ್ತು PUC textbooksಗಳನ್ನು ಒಳಗೊಂಡಿದೆ.
