i)
Since educational
communication and technology is a fairly new area of importance in education,
it is a lightly technical field, and to understand how it affects the
instructional delivery, one first has to understand the operational
functionality of the resource kits.
ii)
Teacher’s
knowledge have a great impact on the effective application of teaching aids or
instructional materials, this is because the teacher uses need to understand
the sequential presentation of the instructional gadgets so as to suit the interests
of the learners and its appropriateness with the instructional tasks.
iii) Part of the application of teaching aids or
instructional materials process is the target population for whom the materials
are to be use and the setting or vicinity where the learning should take place.
iv) Time, is also a serious problem or factor that delay
the effective use of instructional materials, ineffective instructional
delivery in the class, because in most cases the time that is allotted for a
subject on the time table might not be enough for the teachers to present his
contents alongside with effective use of the materials which will affect the
wholesome delivery of the content.
v)
This factor seems
to be the handicap why most educational institutions are unable to acquire
relevant teaching equipments and materials. In line with this, students and
teachers will lack on the opportunity to learn and use new techniques in the
field.
vi) There are sophisticated teaching aids or instructional
materials that can make learning easier and faster such as
computer-aided-program but lack of funds has effect on its importation and use
in schools.
vii)
Materials
available for the effective instructional delivery are poorly manhandled by
both the teachers and some school authority.
viii)
Schools are
affected by non availability of resource room for the proper keeping of both
the locally manufactured and the commercially purchased teaching aids thereby
limiting its use as at the time needed.
ix) The few institutions indicates the availability of
these materials but were rather in poor conditions.
