This study sought to examine students' attitude towards learning of Social Studies and their performance in the Accra Metropolitan Assembly in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. A sample of seventy-two (72) teachers was used. Methodologically, the study adopted the simple random sampling technique and purposive sampling technique. Questionnaires were used as the main data collection instrument. Kohler's theory of insight learning served as the theoretical basis for this study. The quantitative data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0. whereas the qualitative data was transcribed appropriately. It was found that students in the Accra Metropolitan Assembly performed averagely in Social Studies. They also have positive attitudes towards studying Social Studies. It is therefore recommended that Ghana Education Service should recruit professional teachers to teach Social Studies in Senior High schools. This will help the students to improve more with the right knowledge in Social Studies.
