Abstract:

The study adopted a survey design aimed at investigating the extent to which Audio-Visual materials were used in teaching and learning of Social Studies and their effects in some selected Junior Secondary Schools within Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) of Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Two research questions were stated and subsumed in a hypothesis. The review of related literature hinged on the meaning and classification of the study of audio-visual materials, while empirical studies on the area were also reviewed. The instrument for data collection was questionnaire. Data collected were analyzed using simple percentage and frequencies while the hypothesis was tested using F-test statistics technique. The result reveals that there is significant difference between the use of audio-visual material and students’ performance; the findings also revealed that audio - visual materials solve educational problems arising from population boom and explosion of human knowledge and they provide sources of information on every kind of learning thereby removing abstraction in teaching and learning. The research therefore recommends that infusion of the use of audio visual resources as a core teaching method in the curricula of secondary schools and impressing upon the ministry of Education to provide explicit strategy for enforcing the use of audio visual materials in teaching and learning is imperative.
