Abstract: Education today is increasingly shaped by the integration of digital technologies, offering new avenues for teaching and learning. Within the realm of specialized subjects in the Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) Strand, teachers face the challenge of engaging learners in disciplines that demand critical analysis, deep understanding, and interdisciplinary exploration. A context-based approach in education involves tailoring instructional methods, curriculum design, and learning experiences to the specific context, needs, and backgrounds of learners. The primary goal of this study is to examine the utilization of facebook messenger as a text-based teaching approach in specialized subjects in HUMSS strand. The study used a mixed-method approach and employed a purposive sample approach. The respondents of the study were the learners and teachers under the HUMSS Strand of batch 2021-2022 in the schools. Overall, in terms of the perception of the respondents on the utilization of Facebook messenger as a text-based teaching approach in specialized subjects in HUMSS strand concerning the pedagogical tool and learning mode were moderately agreed. It’s also important to look at the learner’s learning outcomes while using Facebook as a learning platform. While most people considered using Facebook to be useful and easy, a small percentage nevertheless found it to be inconvenient and distracting.
