Abstract:
This study determined the adequacy of material resources for teaching business education courses in colleges of education in North- west, Nigeria. The study was guided by Bertalanffy (1968) theory known as system theory. The study was also guided by two specific purposes, two research questions and two null hypotheses respectively. The study adopted a descriptive research design. The population of the study was 303 which comprised all business education lecturers from the nine colleges of education in North-west, Nigeria that offer business education. Purposive sampling technique was used to select four colleges of education from the nine colleges of education to participate in the study; 144 business education lecturers from the four colleges of education selected participated in the study. The instrument used for data collection was a questionnaire titled "AMBED" and was validated by three experts. A reliability coefficient of 0.82 was obtained using Cronbach Alpha method. The data collected for the research questions were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The null hypotheses were tested using independent samples t-test at 0.05 significance level. The findings revealed that physical facilities, equipment and supplies were adequate for teaching business education courses in colleges of education (Mean = 2.04, SD = 0.77), (Mean = 2.20, SD = 0.84) respectively. It was therefore concluded that necessary material resources were not moderately adequate for colleges of education and this will however affect the effective teaching of business education courses. Based on the findings, the study recommended, amongst others, that moderately adequate physical facilities, equipment and supplies should be provided for business education by the authorities of colleges of education as stipulated by the NCCE (2020) minimum standards to enhance effective teaching.
