Omage ADESUWA, Richard Erharuyi NOSAKHARE

Abstract


This study examined the role of instructional media in adult literacy education programmes in Benin metropolis. The population of the study comprised 404 adult learners. Four research questions were raised to guide the study. The descriptive survey research design was employed. A sample of 150 respondents was used for the collection of data. A 20 - Item questionnaire with correlation index of 0.65 was used for data collection. Mean scores and percentage statistics were used to analyse the data obtained. The findings revealed that literacy by radio was the best way to use instructional media in promoting literacy education programme because of its level of availability; almost every house has a radio even in the rural areas. Secondly, it was discovered that many adult instructors are not familiar with some relevant instructional media and do not even know how to use high tech instruments such as Projector, Television, Computers, among others. It was therefore, recommended that instructors should encourage and expose the learners to the use of various instructional media. Moreover, instructors should be given training on how to improvise the development and proper use of instructional media so that when the type of instructional media needed for a given instruction is not available, they can improvise.
