Abstract:
The study assessed flip chart instructional materials used in educational process of Physics in senior secondary schools in Makurdi local Government Area of Benue State. A descriptive survey research design was used. The population comprised of four hundred and fifty two (452) Physics teachers drawn from all parts of the LGA. Ten (10) Senior Secondary Schools were selected using Simple random sampling technique in the Area. Eighty (80) senior secondary school Physics teachers were selected as sample through simple random sampling technique. A structured questionnaire was used as instrument for data collection which was found valid by the researcher's supervisor. Three (3) research questions and two null hypotheses were developed for the study. Data collected from the study was subjected to statistical analysis using mean and standard deviation while the null hypotheses were tested with chi-square statistics. Findings showed that flip charts are being used in the teaching of Physics practicals in most senior secondary schools in Makurdi Local Government Area of Benue State. Also flip charts are frequently used by Physics teachers to teach Physics practicals (3.13) and that flip charts are commonly used among Physics teachers in the sampled schools (3.61). Result further showed that there are various factors militating against the use of flip charts in teaching Physics practicals in senior secondary schools in Makurdi Local Government Area of Benue State. It was however recommended that training should be organized to equip teachers with the necessary knowledge of effectively using flip charts in teaching Physics practicals. Teachers should be ready to improvise the needed materials in the teaching of science, particularly Physics and that funds should be provided by the government to secondary schools in Benue State in order to improve the effectiveness of flip charts in Physics practicals class.
