Abstract

This study investigated the availability and utilization of instructional materials in the teaching and learning of Computer Studies in junior secondary schools within Enugu East Local Government Area, Enugu State, Nigeria. Prompted by the growing significance of computer education in the digital era, the study assessed the extent to which instructional materials both traditional and digital are accessible and effectively employed in the classroom. A descriptive survey design was adopted, involving 284 respondents comprising students, teachers, and administrators selected from 10 public and private schools. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed through descriptive statistics. Availability and utilization of instructional materials questionnaire. Findings revealed that while basic materials such as textbooks and a limited number of desktop computers were somewhat available, modern instructional tools like projectors, simulation software, interactive whiteboards, and internet access were largely insufficient or underutilized. The study also identified significant challenges, including poor funding, inadequate teacher training, and lack of infrastructure and maintenance culture. Despite the presence of some resources, many teachers lacked the technical competence to use 7them effectively, undermining students' practical engagement and digital literacy development. The study concludes that both the availability and effective utilization of instructional materials are critical to the successful delivery of Computer Studies. It recommends targeted investments in ICT resources, continuous teacher training, better infrastructure, and policy enforcement to bridge the gap between curriculum expectations and actual classroom practices.
