Domestic Waste Disposal investigated the extent of the use of instructional materials in effective teaching and learning of Home Economics. The study aimed at determining the extent of the use of instructional materials or reportage of the problems associated with the use of instructional materials and the government effort on the use of instructional materials.
The project work consisted of five major chapters starting with the introduction which covered the introduction, statement of problems, objective of study, research question, hypotheses etc. Relevant literature consisting of meaning, classification, functions and availability of instructional materials.
Analysis of data with the help on descriptive and inferential statistical tools showed that instructional materials are not required and not well taken care of. However, when these materials go bad, they are either dumped, discarded, or managed the way it is. The researchers therefore recommend that a more provision of adequate funds for acquisition and maintenance of instructional materials for teaching and learning of Home Economics and that government should pay more attention to the need for relevant instructional materials for effective teaching and learning of Home Economics. It also recommended that in-house training, seminar and workshop on the use of instruction materials should be frequently organized by governments or schools to promote the use of instructional materials in effective teaching and learning.
