Abstract The study surveyed teachers' perception of the use of Social Studies concepts in conflict management. The study was a descriptive survey research. Thirty-one Social Studies teachers from sixteen public secondary schools in Sapele, Delta State were sampled. The main instrument was the teacher made test. The data collected were analysed using the t-test statistic. The result showed that female and male teachers generally accepted that Social Studies concepts could be used to manage conflict. Teachers' acceptance that Social Studies concepts could be used in conflict management was found not to depend on experience. The study recommended that desirable Social Studies concepts such as unity, honesty, co-operation, love, peace, tolerance, and patriotism should be encouraged by teachers among students and that the content of Social Studies should include the study of national and international conflicts and its effects on human population.
