ABSTRACT

Thousands of teachers teach without students' understanding. Instructional materials are anything used by the teachers during the teaching process to effect better understanding. This paper examines the effects of instructional materials on the teaching of textiles and arts in the classroom. It also points out what the learning and teaching concepts entail, the types of instructional materials and how they can be relevant to the teaching of arts/textiles. One of the recommendations was that the instructional materials should be encouraged by the government to enable students to have a good understanding of what they are taught. This is in consideration of the fact that the effects of instructional materials in teaching art cannot be overemphasized and that effective learning will be achieved if instructional materials are employed.
