population comprised of all the 1200 teachers in the primary schools and a sample of 320
randomly selected teachers was used. The study employed the quantitative methodology and
adopted the descriptive survey design. All the data was gathered by use of a questionnaire which
largely had close-ended questions and two open-ended ones. The study revealed that teachers
were not effectively using audio-visual aids to deliver lessons. The study recommends that
school heads should motivate teachers and guide them in the use of teaching / learning aids for
all subject areas. The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education is also implored to
resuscitate the Audio-Visual Services Unit in order for schools to procure instructional materials
from the unit.
