The study's goal is to ascertain whether the Concept Mapping Teaching Strategy (CMTS) improves students' social studies learning outcomes. One hundred and sixty students in JSSII intact classes were used as sampled. The participants were drawn from four schools located at Badagry zone in Education District V. One hundred and two students were taught with CMTS and fifty-eight students were taught using conventional method. Gender was the moderating variable and was considered as factor that can influence students’ learning outcome. Two research questions were raised and two null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The study employed a quasi-experimental research design. The design employed a 2x1x1 factorial matrix. The Social Studies Achievement test was used to collect data for the study. Data collected were analyzed with mean, standard deviation and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) at 0.05 significant level. Results showed that students who received the Concept Mapping Teaching approach performed well in academics (F-value 7.77<sub>(2, 145)</sub> p&lt;0.05), and that gender is not a factor in using CMTS in Social Studies class which shows that the F-value 1.001<sub>(1, 145)</sub> is not significant at 0.05. The study came to the conclusion that CMTS improved deep learning in social studies. According to the study, junior secondary schools in Lagos State should generally use the therapy on a big scale.</p> ER -
