Abstract
Today, after the frustration of extreme specialization and the emergence of large gaps in the boundaries of different sciences, interdisciplinary studies are booming. In the light of this type of study, it is now possible to establish deep links between the field of history and other disciplines of the humanities, especially with the social sciences in terms of subject matter, knowledge and method. Until a few decades after the establishment of the field of history, no course with the approach of social history entered the curricula of history. The question, then, is how the interactions of history knowledge with the social sciences have been viewed in the undergraduate history curriculum from the beginning to the present, and how this interaction has evolved over time, and what factors have shaped its formation? Using descriptive-explanatory method, the author tries to evaluate the relationship between history knowledge and social knowledge in terms of application of concepts and specific topics of social sciences in the curriculum of history and by measuring and analyzing the frequency of these concepts, shows an aspect of this interaction. The result of this research shows that the place of social knowledge in the process of educational planning in the field of history, especially after its independence from geography until today, after each revision has always been a growing trend, as in the last revision in 1996, the volume of lessons related to Social knowledge and the use of social science words and concepts increased to the highest level.
