ASSESSMENT OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS USAGE ON UPPER BASIC SCHOOL STUDENTS’ PERFORMANCE IN BILLIRI LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF GOMBE STATE
Abstract
This study assessed the usage of instructional materials on upper basic school students’ academic performance in Billiri Local Government Area of Gombe State. A descriptive survey design was adopted. A sample of 120 respondents (teachers and students) was selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using percentages, mean scores, and chi-square statistics. Findings revealed moderate availability but inconsistent usage of instructional materials. A significant relationship was found between instructional material usage and students’ academic performance (χ²cal > χ²tab). The study recommended provision of adequate materials and teacher training.
