AN INVESTIGATION ON TEACHING AND LEARNING RESOURCES/ MATERIALS USED IN FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING LESSONS IN SHS IN SUNYANI MUNICIPALITY

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the teaching and learning resources/materials used in financial accounting lessons in senior high schools in the Sunyani Municipality of Ghana. Thirty one (31) teachers and three hundred and fifty (350) students from the ten (10) senior high schools in the municipality were selected for the study. It was a descriptive study where questionnaire and observation guide were used to collect the data. The study revealed that financial accounting teachers and students acknowledged the importance of teaching and learning resources/materials in the teaching and learning of financial accounting but could not use these resources to support their teaching and learning. The study also recommended that Ghana Education Service should organize in-service training for teachers on how to improvise teaching and learning resources/materials to support their teaching.
