Abstract The study examined the Uses of Instructional Materials in teaching Senior Secondary School Geography in Kano Metropolis. In the course of the study, a Survey Research Design was adopted using Questionnaire as the instrument for data collection. The population of the study is made up of 305 Geography Teachers, 107,238 Students and 171 Senior Secondary Schools in the 8 Local Government Areas that constitute Kano metropolis. Out of the population, 5 Local Government Areas, 10 Senior Secondary Schools, 21 Geography Teachers, and 450 Geography students were selected randomly. The collected data were analyzed using frequency distribution tables and simple percentages. As the findings revealed, Visual Materials (85.5%) are the major types of Instructional materials used in teaching Senior Secondary Schools in Kano Metropolis. The study also revealed that Geography Teachers have a “Somewhat-Negative Attitude” towards using Instructional materials in teaching, although the materials were identified to be insufficient. This might be the reason for mass failure in SSCE (WAEC and NECO) Examinations among Geography students in Kano Metropolis. Findings also revealed that Instructional Materials are indispensible tools in ensuring effective teaching and learning of Geography. The study therefore, recommends that Government, NGOs, and other Stakeholders concerned should improve commitments towards the appropriate provision and utilization of the materials.
