ABSTRACT
The purpose of this research work is to examine the extent to which the Mater-Dei Nursery and Primary School in satellite town utilize quality and adequate instructional materials in classrooms and how this has promoted teaching and learning of pupils. This research was based on three objectives including: to explore the views of teachers and pupils on the extent to which instructional facilities affect pupil performance, to examine the challenges that teachers in Mater-Dei Nursery and Primary School face in accessing instructional materials and to assess the strategies that teachers use to minimize the challenges of attaining and using quality instructional materials. The study adopted a cross sectional survey design. The study population involved all Mater-Dei Nursery and Primary School in satellite town. Out of 38 Mater-Dei Nursery and Primary School in satellite town 5 schools were randomly selected for data collection. In each school, 5 teachers and 20 pupils filled semi- structured questionnaire. Also heads of each school and 1 secondary district education officer were interviewed. The following were findings of the study: first, instructional materials are the key to teachers’ and pupils’ performance. Secondly, most Mater-Dei Nursery and Primary School in satellite town suffer shortage of essential teaching and learning materials. Thirdly, the study revealed that teachers used different strategies to minimize the challenges of attaining and using quality instructional materials like borrowing books and improvising. The study recommends that the government should budget sufficient funds for improving the availability of instructional materials in all secondary schools. For further research, this study proposes that aspects of how teachers and pupils use instructional materials for effective teaching and learning processes need to be examined.
