Teachers’ Perception on the Level of Availability of Instructional Materials in Public Secondary Schools of Zamfara State, Nigeria, 2021
This study examines the level of availability of instructional materials among government-owned public secondary schools in Gusau Local Government Area, Zamfara State, Nigeria. Descriptive survey research was employed and 190 teachers were simple randomly sampled out of the total population of 367 in-service teachers in Gusau LGA through Morgan and Krejcie's (1971) table of determining sample size. Three research questions were established in order to achieve the three objectives formulated for the study. Descriptive statistics (Simple percentage, mean, and standard deviation) were utilized in data analysis. The paper observed that Audio Materials were "Rarely Available" (M=1.99, SD=1.58); Visual Materials were "Much Available" (M=2.73, SD=2.34); while AudioVisual Materials were "Rarely Available" (M=1.68, SD=1.33). In light of this, the study, therefore, recommends that Government, stakeholders in the educational sector, non-governmental and civil society organizations, as well as other well-to-do philanthropists in Zamfara State and particularly in Gusau LGA should endeavor to put more efforts to provide/donate more instructional materials (Audio, Visual, and AudioVisual) for public secondary schools to meet the required amount of materials for the purpose of the enhancing the learners' academic performance and successful professional course delivery of teachers.

This study was carried out to find out the effects of instructional resources on the academic achievement of secondary school students. The study is descriptive in nature and it adopted a survey design. Stratified random sampling technique was used for the selection. This therefore gives 29.8 respondents from teachers and 251.2 students making a total of 281 respondents. Teachers and students in the sampled schools were administered, an investigator constructed questionnaire. Two research questions were raised for the study. Data collected were analyzed using simple percentages. The findings showed that instructional resources play a significant role in enhancing performance of students in schools. Furthermore, the results revealed that schools with adequate quality of teachers and enough instructional material resources showed superiority in academic achievements test than schools without adequate teacher quality and instructional material resources. As seen in the findings from this research, it could be easily concluded that the main reason for lack of proper use of instructional materials in the secondary schools is the lack of users' education. The study therefore concludes that if authorities and staff should take this up as an urgent responsibility to build the expected capacity by orientating the users of the available instructional materials properly, improper use of available instructional materials will be curbed in Nigerian especially in the secondary schools setting.

The study focuses on the accessibility of instructional material for effective teaching in secondary (high) schools in Eleme, Rivers State, Nigeria. The population of the study consisted of 450 teachers from eight secondary (high) schools using a structured research questionnaire. The questionnaires were administered to 78 teachers from eight secondary (high) schools. Percentages (%) and frequency counts were used to assess the data that had been obtained. The numerical values of the estimated % of the response options’ values served as the basis for the decision. Any item with a % score of 50 or higher was considered to be accessible (available), whereas % values lower than 50 were considered to be unavailable. The analysis's findings indicated that these secondary (high) schools had a poor supply of instructional materials for efficient instruction. The little teaching resources that were provided were insufficient, and the teachers either could hardly use them or did not know...
