Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine the influence of teaching learning resources on teachers’ delivery of syllabus in the Asokwa Municipality. The objectives were to examine the relationship between Teaching Learning Materials and teachers' delivery of syllabus; examine the impact of physical facilities on teacher’s delivery of syllabus; and investigate the correlation between human resource and teachers' delivery of syllabus. The study employed a correlational research design, utilizing a deductive research approach and survey strategy. A convenience sampling technique was used to select 384 teachers from thirty-six government-funded basic schools across three circuits of Asokwa Municipality. Data were gathered through questionnaire administration. The responses were then analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling through the application of AMOS 23. The factor analysis revealed that teaching learning materials, physical facilities, and human resources are three distinct but interrelated factors that significantly influence teachers' delivery of the syllabus. Each factor demonstrated strong loadings (>0.5) on their respective indicators, confirming the validity of the constructs. The study discovered a positive and significant relationship between teaching learning materials and teachers’ delivery of syllabus. It also revealed that overall, there is a positive and significant relationship between physical facilities and teachers’ delivery of syllabus. Furthermore, the study established a positive and significant effect of human resources on teachers’ delivery of syllabus. Based on these findings, the study recommends: The adequate provision of teaching learning materials to enhance the effectiveness of syllabus delivery. Improvement in the quality and accessibility of physical facilities to support teaching activities. Strengthening of human resource capacities through continuous professional development and training. Additionally, teachers should adopt cognitive activation strategies in their teaching to foster a more engaging and effective learning environment.
