Abstract

This study is set to examine the attitude of secondary school teachers toward the improvisation and utilization of instructional material in northeast Nigeria. The population of the study consists of all teachers in the selected nine secondary schools in the Northeast. The sample of the study was drawn from three states out of the six states that constitute the northeast. They include Bauchi, Borno, and Adamawa states. The data was collected using a structured questionnaire administered to teachers. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques and correlation analysis. Some of the major findings are; there is limited availability of instructional materials for teachers’ use in the school and the ones that are available do not meet the curriculum specifications. The findings also reveal that, there is adequate workshop/equipment for the teaching of Vocational and Technical subjects in secondary schools but inadequate facilities in the laboratory. Some recommendations were made; government should work at setting aside funds for education especially for the procurement of instructional materials. The teachers should also strive at developing skills and abilities to use the instructional material to improve their teaching
