Abstract

This study examines the place of modern instructional materials in the teaching and learning of primary education in Anambra State, Nigeria. The study employed a descriptive survey design in Anambra State, Nigeria, targeting lecturers in tertiary institutions. Data collection used a validated questionnaire distributed via Google Forms, yielding 50 responses. Analysis involved calculating weighted mean scores, ensuring robustness. Google Survey facilitated efficient data management, enhancing credibility. Rigorous validation and reliability testing ensured research integrity, adhering to best practices in educational research. The findings reveal that modern instructional materials such as audio and video recorders, projectors and digital boards, digital cameras and scanners, as well as maps and charts, are widely available in primary education classrooms. However, their effective integration into pedagogical practices varies among educators, with some demonstrating regular use while others face challenges in incorporating these materials into their teaching. Despite these challenges, the study highlights the positive influence of modern instructional materials on students' learning outcomes, including improved comprehension of difficult concepts, increased interest and retention in subjects, and enhanced overall learning experiences.
