materials
3. Factors affecting the utilization
of the available instructional materials
4. Strategies by which the use of
instructional materials can be fully increased.
This study adopted a descriptive
survey design. it was carried out in Enugu North Local Government Area of Enugu

INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
In teaching, it is highly desirable to
know exactly what one aims to achieve as it is in all great undertaking.
Instructional materials according to Wiki (1998), are kind of tools or equipment
that can help the instructor effectively in theory teaching classroom or in
practical assessment. They are also materials that aid in the transference of
information from one to another. Also Ilori (2000) pin-pointed that
instructional material are aids the teacher uses to arouse the interest of the
learner there by enabling the learner to gain direct experience. Instructional
materials are assumed to have being in place right from the primary school
level but if not properly utilized, enhancement of learning is thwarted. The
neglect of the use of instructional materials by teachers pose negative effect
in the process of teaching and learning of Accounting education. Merrrel (1993)
(p.37) pointed out that at present, schools are continually faced with financial
problem and this could increase the likelihood that teachers will make more use
of free or cheap teaching materials to supplement their own ageing resources.
It is therefore important that teachers remain vigilant and exercise sound
judgment on approaching what is available to help them teach and their pupils
to learn.instructional materials
The extent to which instructional
materials are made available also determines the extent to which they are being
utilized in teaching and learning of Accounting education. Onwuka (1981)
indicated that instructional materials help the teacher to convey the intended
message effectively and meaningfully to the learners so that the learner
receive, understand, retain and apply the experience gained to reach an educational
goal.
Instructional materials are some of
the most important devices which both teachers and learners can use to enhance
the quality of instruction. They are good sources of acquiring factual
information and help to make learning permanent. Man is naturally endowed with
five senses: smell, touch, sight, hearing and taste. learning or change in
behavior is through these senses. In effect, these senses should come into play
for effective learning. In the classroom the teacher therefore, must sensitize the
sense of the learner through the use of instructional materials.
The various topics in junior secondary
schools in Accounting education demand the use of instructional materials by
the teacher from the preparation and delivery of their lessons to student.
Instructional materials include all terms of information carriers that can be
used to promote and encourage effective teaching and learning activities. They
could be in form of text book, reference books, journals, posters, chart,
programmed text, non-print materials, such as films, tapes, models, picture
,recorders etc. furthermore instructional materials are anything the teacher
turns for help in his goal-seeking activities. The help may be in form of
information, idea, formulae, generalization or experiences (Saylor and
Alexander (1966).instructional materials
Tremendous changes have taken place in
the development of science and technology. Therefore the Enugu state ministry
of education and the school boards are supposed to provide junior secondary school
pupils with funds for the procurement of instructional materials likewise, the
teacher should use the available materials in his everyday teaching learning
process, bearing in mind that the interest of children will be aroused more
when they see things in their natural setting and the educational goal will be
achieved as well.instructional materials
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The extent of use of instructional
materials should not be excluded in teaching and learning of Accounting
education. They supply a concrete basis for conceptual thinking and hence
reduce meaningless word responses of students. It was observed that the result
of student in Accounting education at junior secondary school certificate
examinations (JSSCE) are consistently poor. Some of the causes of this poor
achievement is related to lack of understanding of the concepts. Also the
populations of students in continuation of science subjects in senior secondary
schools are drastically reduced. One would ask, are there no knowledgeable teachers
who can impact the knowledge of the concepts effectively. For a teacher to be
effective in her work, she must know the principles of teaching which also
include the use of instructional materials. Teachers have neglected the use of
instructional materials in teaching and learning of Accounting education. They
engage themselves with chalk and talk method which lives the student with
little or no understanding.
This study therefore, tries to
determine the extent of utilization of instructional materials in teaching and
learning of Accounting education in junior secondary schools in Enugu North
Local Government Area Enugu State.instructional materials
