Abstract

This study investigated the impact of instructional materials on academic performance of secondary school students of Eleyo high school, Ikere-Ekiti, Ekiti state, Nigeria. The research design adopted was a descriptive survey research which was questionnaire based. This study was conducted in Eleyo High School, Ikere-Ekiti. The population consisted of selected students in Eleyo High school, IkereEkiti, EkitiState. A sample of 50 students in Eleyo high school, Ikere male students and female students were used for the study. The research was guided by three research hypotheses. These hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The data collected were analyzed and the formulated hypotheses were tested using Chi- Square Test of independent sample.  The instruments used to elicit the relevant data were: the questionnaire designed by the researchers to elicit information on school, gender, teaching aids, class and years of teaching experience of teachers. The findings showed that there is significant relationship in the impact of problems associated with the use of instructional materials, and the findings also revealed that there is significant relationship in the principles and guidelines for the selection and uses of instructional materials among Eleyo high school students. The study recommends the government to support public secondary schools fully and have a greater impact on students’ academic performance and Teachers should improvise instructional materials when not readily available.
