摘要：This study examined the domain of educational objectives social studies teachers’ questions emphasise in Senior High Schools (SHS) in Ghana. Interpretative research design was used to analyse interviews and document of teachers’ questions designed for students’ end of term examination papers. Non-probability sampling method, that is, convenience and purposive sampling techniques, were used to select the sample of teachers whose end of term social studies questions were analysed. It was revealed that teachers said they set questions that enhance the development of students’ conceptual understanding or problem-solving skills. However, documentary analysis of their end of term examination papers revealed otherwise. There were discrepancies between what teachers said they assessed and what they actually assessed. It was recommended that there is the need to plan and conduct effective professional development initiatives, including both pre-and in-service training, to transform teachers’ epistemologies in line with the current theories of teaching, learning and assessment in social studies. Key-words: Domain of educational objectives. Social Studies objectives. Affective, Cognitive, and Psychomotor domains.
