AN ASSESSMENT OF MATERIAL RESOURCES USED FOR TEACHING BUSINESS STUDIES AS PERCEIVED BY INSPECTORS OF EDUCATION IN NIGERIA (A CASE STUDY OF ASABA, DELTA STATE)

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Material resources provide the physical media through which the intents of the Curriculum are experienced. They are collections of materials and equipment
that processes instruction and training; such materials and equipment may be derived from the objectives of teaching and learning. They assist in putting
across information and enable both teaching and learning to be eectively
done. The importance of material resources in enhancing eective
teaching and
learning of business studies cannot be undermined due to the positive impact it has on the level of assimilation of students. Teaching-learning of Business
studies in schools without material resources such as, chart, maps, curves and graphs etc will not bring out the expected results. Most researchers have
discovered the problems of inadequate material resources as one of the major problem that lead to poor academic performance of students in Business
studies. The materials being used in teaching were called material resources teaching aids, they are to assist the achievement of the stated Educational goals
and objectives. This means that teaching aids are helping in teaching and learning and also provide help in developing similar skills in solving relevant
problems in Business studies for instance, students negative attitude to Business studies is due to poor perception of the course; Business studies as a subject
is very simple but because of lack of qualified and experienced teacher to handle the subject makes it difficult to the students in the secondary schools
during teaching and learning. The influence of using material resources in promoting students’ academic performance in teaching and learning in
Educational development is indisputable. The teaching of Business studies in Nigerian Secondary Schools needs to be properly handled. Business studies
contribute to the nation’s economic development, hence the need to be taught thoroughly if it is to meet the educational and economical development.
Moreso, that Business studies is one of the core subjects in Secondary Schools and as a vocational subject, it cannot be taught effectively without the use of
appropriate material resources (Ajayi, 2000). Material resources is necessary since the teacher alone cannot provide all the needed conditions for an eective
teaching and learning, other supporting materials should be provided
