A structural questionnaire was designed by the researchers and administered to eighty (80) students randomly selected from eight secondary schools in Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu State. Data were analyzed using percentages. Results indicated from the majority view point show that (I) instructional materials were not available for the teaching of Biology in the schools (II) Teachers do not improvise instructional materials (III) Teachers also do not utilize instructional materials. Based on the findings, it was recommended amongst others that government should provide instructional materials in the schools, teachers on their part should augment government’s efforts through improvisation of instructional materials. The availability and effective utilization of instructional materials (whether by improvisation or by provision by the government), will enhance teaching effectiveness in Nigeria Secondary schools. |
