utilized the said approach in as much as the main purpose

of this research was to determine the ideal teaching

approach to be applied in teaching Social Studies subject

as perceived by the Social Studies teachers and third

A survey questionnaire was formulated for the

questionnaires for the students and teacher with 8 items

information such as gender, age, civil status, and

educational background. Part II consists of the 8 items

that emphasize the different teaching techniques used in

respondents.

As to gender, majority of the student respondents

are female which are 54 or 68% of the total number of

respondents. While in the teacher respondents, majority

are also female accounting 9 or 75% of the total

respondents. Most of the student respondents’ ages belong

to 14 years old which is 44 or 56% of the total number of

respondents. The teachers’ age bracket is 30 – 35 years

old which account 3 or 25% of the total respondents. In

terms of civil status, 11 of the teachers are married.

This accounts for 92% of the total respondents. In terms

of educational background, most of the teachers graduated

a Bachelor’s Degree with MA Units that accounts for 10 or

Good. The students prefer this kind of approach because

this is what they are most comfortable with. Based on the

teachers, item number 2 got the highest mean of 4.33
