The affective domain is the main focus of social studies as a subject. This should be reflected in the teaching and assessment of social studies. It would appear that, there is a cognitive orientation to the teaching and evaluation of the subject among social studies teachers in Junior Secondary Schools in Ogun State. this paper sets out to find, if social studies teachers generally evaluate the affective domain to an acceptable level and the proportion of teachers who meet the acceptable level of evaluation as specified by the study. The population of the study was made up one hundred and forty three social studies teachers out of which eighty-four (84) teachers were finally randomly selected for the study. Ten public secondary schools were randomly selected for the study. Two hypotheses were generated for the study. Based on the findings, it was recommended among other things that all stake-holders in Education should place more emphasis on the affective evaluation of social studies.
