Abstract

This study investigated the influence of availability of teaching and learning materials on teaching motivation in secondary schools in Babati District. The study assessed the status of teaching resources available in schools, the status of learning resources available in schools, examined the status of teaching motivation in schools and examined the influence of school resources in enhancing teaching motivation in secondary schools. The study used a descriptive research design using questionnaires, interview and documentary review to collect data from a sample of 100 respondents. The findings indicated that, there were plentiful teaching models, audio-visual materials and teacher’s guides, instructional materials and reference books, maps and globes to enhance effective teaching in secondary schools which implies that most secondary schools had limited scarcity of teaching materials to facilitate teaching processes. Also, findings indicated that, there were enough textbooks for students, flip charts, laboratory equipment, calculators as well as wall maps to enhance effective learning among students in most secondary schools. Furthermore, study findings revealed that there was a high teaching motivation among secondary schools implying that that there is a positive correlation between the availability of school resources and teachers’ motivation in secondary schools. The study recommended that there should be regular trainings among teachers so as to enhance their recognition and motivation to teach. There is also a need for the government, through the ministry of education, to support other districts to the maximum in order to improve teachers’ motivation so as to reach their potentials.
