| Abstract: This study investigated the influence of instructional resources on physics students’ performance in Bui Division in the North West Region of Cameroon. The descriptive survey design was used for the study. The target population comprised of 25 physics teachers and 180 secondary school students in Bui Division. The purposive sampling technique was used to obtain a sample of 12 physics teachers and 124 students who participated in the study. Data were collected using questionnaires for teachers and students. The face validity of the instruments was done by expert and the reliability was established by a test-retest process of two weeks apart. The reliability coefficients of ?=0.696 and ?=0.929 respectively were calculated for both teachers and students questionnaires using Cronbach alpha formula. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistical tools like frequency counts, percentages, mean scores and standard deviations. The findings revealed that instructional resources (physics teachers’ characteristics, textbooks, laboratory equipments and ICTs) influence students’ performance to a large extent. The study recommended that Regular and sufficient supply of instructional resources (physical, human and digital) should be embarked on by the governments, Parent-Teachers Associations (PTAs) and other stakeholders at all levels of schooling. |
