ABSTRACT
This research was conducted to explore Social Studies teachers’ use of the integrated approach in their teaching in senior high schools in the Kumasi Metropolis. A case study design with qualitative methodology was adopted for the study. A sample size of 20 was purposively sampled. The data was gathered using interview and observation guide. Template analysis was used to analyse the data qualitatively. The results of the study indicated that in most cases, Social Studies teachers in senior high schools did not use the integrated approach in their instructional practice even though they had knowledge on the definition of Social Studies and partly understood the integrated approach. The study recommended that, regular in- service training on new methodologies, assessment techniques and approaches such as the integrated approach should be organised for Social Studies teachers to keep them abreast with modern approaches for the fulfilment of learners’ and societal needs. In addition, only trained Social Studies teachers should be allowed to teach Social Studies in SHSs.
