Abstract:
This study explored the teachers’ perceptions and attitudes towards Bangsamoro culture and its implication to social studies teachers. Teachers in the elementary and high school, most particularly in social studies subject, found difficulties in coping with the universality of materials needed in the analysis of their observations of the Bangsamoro culture. In fact, such topic is very interested specially in studying history and culture of the Bangsamoro people. Descriptive survey technique was use to take into account the sixty(60) drawn participants by captive method. Survey questionnaires were use as the basic instrument in gathering data. The cool analysis of the data revealed that the social studies teachers imply that a considerably large number of participant’s teachers and attitude towards Bangsamoro culture need to be improved through increased knowledge and understanding of the Bangsamoro world. Through this, both the students and the teachers have become conscious on the significance of the social studies subject towards national understanding.
