Utilizing a descriptive survey design, data were gathered from 370 lecturers through a self-structured questionnaire, analyzed using statistical methods including means, standard deviations and t-tests. The findings indicate a strong consensus among lecturers on the importance of Social Studies in enhancing social stability, with no significant differences observed in perceptions based on gender.
