Abstract:
Social study is an important subject at the upper primary level, which is distinct from the
physical, biological or environmental sciences, because it is concerned with the behaviour of “human
beings as members of societies”. So far as the people is concerned, society is the laboratory for proper
conceptual understanding of social studies in term of their physical location, environment, economic
activities, past culture & event, government, citizenship and democracy. This poses a greater challenge
to social scientist as they need to establish hypotheses, observations and assumptions, which are general
statements that formally, show the existence of cause and effect relationships between observable events
since people’s behaviours cannot be controlled while learning. So whether the teachers developing
moral and social value among the students.
