Abstract
The
study determined the impact of instructional materials in teaching and
learning biology among the students in senior secondary schools in Enugu
North Local Government Area. These research questions were reviewed and
answered. The literature related to this study was reviewed under
following topics. There are; uses of instructional materials, importance
of instructional material in teaching and learning, the availability of
instructional materials, the extent of usage of these materials, the
extent of students show interest in biology lessons using instructional
materials and review of empirical study. The research design is survey.
The population of the study was 2,700 senior students. The sample was
252 senior students. The instrument used was questionnaire. The
instrument was validated by 2 expects in the school of Science
Education. The reliability of the instrument was obtained using test
re-test method. Data were collected using the instrument. Data was
analyzed using mean and percentage. The result showed that selected
schools are not enough to guide and direct learning experiences. The
available once in the schools are not frequently used. The extent of
usage of these instructional materials are very poor. Finally the extent
of students interest in biology lesson using instructional materials
was very high in some secondary schools.
