Abstract
The study looked into the attitudes of the students towards Araling Panlipunan: A Determinant of Learning Performance, School Year 2024-2025. Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions: 1. To what extent do the respondents' disposition towards Araling Panlipunan serve as the causal model of students' learning performance? 2. What is the learning performance of the respondents in the following categories: outstanding, very satisfactory, satisfactory, fairly satisfactory, and did not meet expectations? 3. Do the respondents' learning performance associate with their disposition towards Araling Panlipunan? The descriptive method was used in this study. Further, this study proved that student respondents' antipathy toward social studies was directly correlated to their antipathy toward school in general. Hence, the majority obtained a higher learning performance in Social Studies. On the contrary, in various research, the majority of students found social studies to be uninteresting, unimportant, and insignificant, with a lack of variety employed in teaching methods. Hence, they need to choose the specific teaching strategies in the Araling Panlipunan subject to be used in their classrooms to intensify communication and class performance.
