ABSTRACT:

Teaching is a profession that plays a vital role in the learning, social, cultural, and economic development of children and young people. It is responsible for instilling fundamental social values, including democracy, equality, tolerance, cultural understanding, and respect for fundamental freedoms. This study aimed to determine the teaching strategies utilized by high school Social Studies teachers in Ozamiz City Division. The researchers used a questionnaire to collect data from twelve (12) Social Studies teachers from four (4) different schools. The findings showed that most teachers employed collaborative strategies encouraging active participation, such as a community-based approach, cooperative learning activity, and inquiry approach. These strategies were employed to make Social Studies more engaging and interesting to students, maximizing their participation and involvement in class. In addition, using these strategies helped eliminate the perception that Social Studies is a boring subject
