This study investigated the effectiveness of the team discussion method on students' achievement in Social Studies. A quasi-experimental, pre-test, post-test control group design from Passi National High School (PNHS) in 2018. Seventy-one grade 7 students were utilised as respondents. Simple random sampling was used to select 35 students from each section for the study and to allocate the group into experimental and control groups. The results reflect the student's performance in Social Studies using the established interpretations and descriptions.
