CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
According to Aguokogbuo (2000) says that educational experiences involving the learner actively participating in concrete examples are retained longer than abstract experiences.
Instructional material elements of reality by providing concrete examples to learning many authors have written on the use of instructional materials both in teaching of basic science and other related subjects in order to enhance teaching for desired social and behavioral change. These authors include Greenwood (2001) Nwanna Nzewunwa (2003) and Adekeye (2008) more specifically; it was emphasized in the works of these authors that the use of instructional materials is a sine qua non in affecting behavior of learning’s of every field, especially basic science.
It was equally shown by some of the authors that these materials are important catalysis of social re-engineering and changes; according to the researcher, it is found that basic science teaching and learning cannot be well accomplished without the use of instructional materials.
Advanced in technology have brought instructional materials especially the projected and electronic materials to the forefront as the most radical tools of globalization and social development which have affected the classroom teaching-learning situation positively. The availability of instructional material in teaching and learning of the student, have made both teaching and learning become very pleasant to basic science teachers. A study by Owolabi (2004) revealed that the performance of Nigerian students in ordinary level basic science was generally poor. This was attributed by the author to many factors of teaching strategy, teaching strategy itself was considered as an important factor. Jegede et. al (1992) reported factors responsible for students’ academic performance in learning of basic science. The factors can be said to be poor laboratory facilities, inability of the basic science teachers to put across ideas clearly to the students and inadequate number of learning facilities in school in Igbo Etiti local government area of Enugu state. Basic science cannot be fully taught without the availability of instructional material; the teaching of basic science without learning materials will certainly result to poor performance in the course.
