| Abstract: |
The role of well designed and prepared instructional materials in teaching sciences is imperative in view of the complex and abstract nature of some science subjects. It is argued that for science teachers to be more successful in their teachings, thus alleviating the unclear perception of the scientific concepts and theories. This study investigated the effectiveness of locally made instructional materials on students' academic performance and retention in science education in the eastern province of Rwanda. Two research questions were formulated, and the research design is known as a quasi-experimental research design, specifically the pretest post-test non-randomized control group design was used. The study was carried out among students of Senior Two A (SS2Aand SS2B) in secondary schools located in the eastern province of Rwanda. Senior Two A (SS2A) students were treated as the control group, and senior two B (SS2B) were treated as the experimental group. Both groups were taught the same topic using standard instructional materials and assessed to measure their academic performance. Another topic was taught to both classes Senior Two A with standard instructional materials and Senior Two B With locally made materials. Again both groups were assessed to measure their academic performance. The sample of the study consisted of eighty-two students, forty two teachers, and four headteachers. Research instruments used in this study were observation, interviews, questionnaires, and tests to provide scores. The results showed that students in the control group failed compared to students in the experimental group taught by using locally made materials. It is authoritative that course instructors should be encouraged to admire the effectiveness of locally made instructional materials so as to motivate, encourage active participation thereby improving science students' overall academic performance |
