It was motivated by the need to provide insights for a base for understanding the use of audiovisual materials for learning among young learners. The researchers adopted survey design as research method with the use of a questionnaire to elicit data from the respondents. The instruments of data collection were administered to 120 students of senior secondary school I and II offering science courses. The researchers showed that there is a prominent use of multimedia, portable and overhead projectors, posters and charts, photographs and pictures, and specimens among several other audio-visual instructional materials used for teaching and learning in senior secondary school. Additionally, the researchers revealed that benefits such as students’ motivation for science subjects, lasting and meaningful learning, students’ attentiveness, enhanced performance as well as learning outcomes, among others are associated with the use of audio-visual instructional materials in the teaching of science subjects in the school. Furthermore, the researchers revealed that challenges associated with the use of audio-visual materials in science teaching in secondary schools include psychological fear and lack of interest in sciences. The researchers concluded that despite the glaring challenges, the use of technology-based teaching materials such as audio-visual instructional aid has gained popularity in the 21st century and recommended that students must be motivated to become interested in science subjects through continuous and improved use of audio-visual aids for teaching.</p> Kelvin Inobemhe, Yahaya Gwayo, Bidemi Matthew Copyright (c) 2025 UMT Education Review https://journals.umt.edu.pk/index.php/uer/article/view/6914 Thu, 05 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000
