THE PROBLEM
Introduction
Social studies are the integrated study of the social sciences and
political sciences, religion, and sociology, as well as appropriate content from the
humanities, mathematics and natural sciences (Fau & Manalili, 2012). Social
Studies is a key tool in this changing world. It serves as the foundation of social
development across the country and will develop the learner ‘literate and
effective participation as a citizen of the country (Crisolo et, Al. 2017). The
primary purpose of social studies is to help young people make informed and
society in an independent world (Babu, 2017). The social studies are concerned
with man and his interaction with social and physical environment. It deals with
human relationships; the central function of the social studies is identical with the

Conceptual Framework
This study anchored on the study made by Yange (2017) on the Problems
teaching methods, lack of enough trained teachers and lack of teaching aids/
instructional materials on the teaching of social studies. They are considered the
basic problems which face the teacher since teachers complain about mastering
the ordered inside the classroom, and it consumes much effort in time, and they
are considered as sensitive, important in critical factors for the teachers’ success
Although, some of the subject teachers in Social Studies are not competent
enough since it is not their line of expertise. They are just teaching the subject
because of having less supply of Social Studies teachers. Teachers that are

expert in the subject teach abstract facts without any reference to context that
might give meanings and clarity to the concepts. Furthermore they hide important
and how beneficial they could derive if they fully direct their attention towards the
lessons. Limited and swallow textbooks content- lack of teaching materials like
textbooks or workbooks for both teachers and students is also affecting teacher’s
attitudes towards teaching the subject. The teachers do not have access to
appropriate textbooks in the available ones are not even relevant to new
curriculum. Since the curriculum is always changing, the availability of the books
is limited. Also, most social study textbooks have been written by people with
concepts (David, 2013). There are textbooks that contains same topic but they
