Hadi & Al-Taai, (2021), on the other hand, had defined teaching methods as the set
of performances that the teacher used to achieve expected behavior among learners.
In addition, Uchechi (2021) had posited that a teaching method was an effective
way to organize learning and unite both the teacher’s and learner’s efforts. It was
important that teachers were creative and professionally developed to use and
combine these teaching methods. However, in the context of teaching social studies
in junior high school, teachers had a hard time figuring out effective ways to teach
the subject and cultivate students’ interest in the topics. One study had found that
students perceived social studies as relevant in the 21st century (Crisolo et al.,
2021). However, another study had revealed that, while students acknowledged its
relevance, they lamented that it was not an enjoyable part of the curriculum (De
Also, the formative years of junior high school students had been a crucial
phase in developing lifelong skills, attitudes, and values. Despite this, the teaching
of social studies had been very challenging for teachers. According to the study of

learn about the past, present and future of their country and the world. For example,
social studies delve into major historical events that have shaped our world.
Students learn about the rise and fall of civilizations, major wars, revolutions, and
perspectives students comprehend the context of current events and make informed
opinions about the effects of these perspectives in their country and the world.
Students can also use this knowledge to enhance their critical thinking skills, foster
national identity. For example, students are taught to pay respect to the Philippine
flag and give utmost reverence when singing the Philippine National Anthem for

The objectives of social studies in junior secondary level are: (1) To educate
the learners about the concerns of their country as well as the entire world, and to
the changing social and physical environment, its natural resources, man-made
cultural artifacts, and spiritual resources, as well as the responsible use and
preservation of these resources for growth, (3) To foster in the student a positive

development of a fulfilling professional life, which includes job pride and sound

their equally strong dedication to student learning as the primary qualities that
define a good teacher. Regarding teaching methods, according to the same study,
students emphasized the importance of teachers' ability to vary and adapt their
teaching approach to suit the class and individual needs. They did not describe
specific teaching methods as superior to others. Additionally, students also note that
