Abstract

While Kenya is said to be facing challenges on the use of instructional resources, this study investigated on integration of media resources in Christian Religious Education among three Secondary Schools in Kenya. Questionnaire and observation schedules were used to collect data from three teachers and 156 students. Data analysis involved qualitative and quantitative approaches. The study established that teachers were highly qualified, having enough experience to handle the subject. Teachers and students considered nine out of 24 media resources to be available. With exception of bulletin boards, they considered all media resources useful. The use of media resources, however, was limited to textbooks, bibles, supplementary books, chalkboards, charts, maps and library. Teachers’ main sources of information were textbooks, bibles and supplementary books while students depended on textbooks, which were limited in number and bibles as sources of information. The study recommends that school need to ensure availability of various media resources and teachers need to be creative to prepare various media resources in order to enhance teaching-learning effectiveness. Schools should build centers for media resources where teachers and students can easily access them. Finally, teachers should be trained to combine various media resources in teaching-learning transaction.
