| dc.description.abstract | The study was about the influence of instructional materials on teachers’ effectiveness in government aided primary schools in Butebo Sub County, Butebo district. The set objectives were; i.) To establish the influence of traditional materials on teachers’ effectiveness in government aided primary schools in Butebo district. ii.) To find out the influence of improvised materials on teachers’ effectiveness in government aided primary schools in Butebo district and iii) To come up with solutions to shortage of instructional materials in government aided primary schools in Butebo sub county, Butebo district. A descriptive research design was used since the researcher studies a particular group of people at a time and it is aimed at providing data on the entire population under study. Of the 92 respondents sampled, 70 provided responses and thus gave a response rate of 86.9% that was quite good for the study. Purposive and simple random sampling methods was used; questionnaires and interviews were used accordingly. The conclusion of results revealed that teachers in government aided primary schools use text books during the teaching and learning, others use simple handouts in the teaching process, use work sheets to enhance instruction, and make use of routine tests as part of the teaching, improvise some instructional materials, are selective while utilizing instructional materials during the lesson, and often source the most cost-effective instructional materials available. The results also showed that instructional materials exist in school are not adequate to cater for the high pupil enrolment, some resources are remitted from government to facilitate the acquisition of instructional resources but are always inadequate and delay to come. It is therefore recommended that there is need to push government to increase school budgets for adequate acquisition of instructional materials, re-orient government aided primary schools towards creativity and innovation, and encourage schools in Butebo to collaborate and coordinate with each other on the utilization of existing instructional materials. | |
