ENHANCING STUDENTS’ INTEREST IN SOCIAL SCIENCES

Abstract

This article explores effective pedagogical strategies and psychological approaches to enhance students’ interest in social sciences. It examines the reasons behind the declining motivation among university students towards disciplines such as sociology, philosophy, history, and political science, and proposes innovative teaching methodologies to make learning more engaging. The study highlights the role of digital tools, active learning methods, and social relevance in promoting sustained academic curiosity and critical thinking among students. The findings reveal that student-centered approaches and interdisciplinary methods significantly increase learners’ involvement and academic performance in social sciences.
