1.1
BACKGROUND OF STUDY
This study is aimed
at finding out the impact of instructional materials in the teaching and
learning of Account in secondary schools in Warri.
Educators normally
have always felt the need to see that teachers adopt the appropriate methods of
teaching Account subject and acquire skills to meet the needs of the student
and the society. But recent finding have shown that most students tend to run away
from some lectures like Account when been taught because they don’t understand
the subject matter being taught by their teachers. And this attitude of some
students during learning or towards learning have been traced to method of
teaching by the teachers, the lack of effective instructional materials in the
teaching learning situation of the subject, some is the organization of the
learning environment e.t.c. some of the learning environment are that some of
the students do not have sits to write on, others do not have the financial
support of their parents to purchase some of these instructional materials like
the text books. And this affects their performance in the studying of Account
subject in class because they will not be focused but they will be thinking of
how they can buy their text books to read and pass their exams.
There is the need to
employ the use of instructional material in the teaching and learning of
Account in the secondary schools. This can be done by the class room teacher
making conscious effort to see that learners are given the right kind of
education based on the school curriculum.
From this research we
are able to see that students can develop their intellectual capacities,
develop interest in the learning of Account subject, and develop into a useful
member in the community and society if the appropriate teaching methods and
skills are applied to the teaching and learning of the subject in secondary
schools.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The poor performance
of teaching and. learning of Account in secondary schools in Warri can be due
to non conducive environment, and the lack of trained teachers. A teacher
should be skilled in the design, production and selection of instructional
materials for effective teaching.
Apart from these
problems, the use of appropriate and adequate learning material is emphasized
in the student’s academic performance. The major difficulty in adopting the
instructional materials for teaching and learning of Account lies in the
provision of such facilities in the growing society like Nigeria.
