The study determined the utilization of instructional materials in teaching and
learning of business studies in secondary schools in Anambra State. Two research
questions guided the study and two null hypotheses were. Descriptive survey
research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised
296 business subject teachers in all public secondary schools in Anambra State. A
five point rating scale questionnaire which was validated by experts was used for
data collection. Cronbach alpha was used to test the reliability of the instrument and
reliability index of .82 was obtained. Data collected from the study were analyzed
using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions and ascertain
the homogeneity of the respondents while Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used
to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that the
business studies teachers seldomly utilized projected visual instructional materials
and often utilized non-projected visual instructional materials in teaching. The
findings further revealed that teachers did not differ significantly in their mean
ratings based on years of experience.It was concluded that utilization of
instructional materials by business studies teachers should help secondary school
students acquire entrepreneurial skills that will enable them to be self-sufficient in
the competitive world of work. Based on the findings, the researchers recommended,
among others, that relevant authorities should organize seminars, in-service
training, conferences and workshops for business studies teachers on the utilization
of instructional materials for effective learning outcomes.
