Performance of Geography subject in Yaba Local Council Development Area has been poor. Over the years, the results have not been satisfactory to the teachers, parents and other stake holders. This prompted the researcher to investigate whether the educators and learners use instructional materials in practical geography. The following objectives were used in the study, to establish the utilization of instructional materials for Practical Geography, investigate extent the teaching and learning materials are used, establish the views of the teachers and students towards use of instructional materials, and establish the challenges faced by teachers when teaching Geography.
The theoretical framework of the study was based on Edgar Dale’s cone of experience. The study design used was descriptive survey. The study population comprised of Geography Head teachers, teachers and students in secondary schools. Simple and random sampling techniques were used in selecting the research participants.
