dc.description.abstractThe study investigated the influence of Instructional Resources and Teacher-related Factors on Students’ Academic Achievement in Biology Practical in Secondary Schools in Oyo State, Nigeria. Research of Literature shows influence of the combinations of many variables on the students’ academic achievement but not these two variables together, -Instructional Resources and Teacher-related Factors, which provided the gap for this study to fill. Research questions were posed and two hypotheses guided the study. Study population comprised of all the SS2 (Senior Secondary School Students, 81,083) in Oyo State, Nigeria, Sample size consisted of 500 students. The Expost Facto research design was employed. Data collection was conducted using the Instructional Resources and Teacher-related Factors Questionnaire (IRTRFQ) and the Practical Biology Test (PBT). Result showed low availability level of instructional resources ( ഥ ? =1.69), low utilization of instructional resources, (ഥ? =1.90) and also high status of teacher- related factors ( ഥ ? =3.12). Multiple regression analysis revealed an R .171, R² .029, Adjusted R² .023, indicating that the independent variables accounted for 2.3% of the variance in students' Biology practical performance. ANOVA results showed F2, 497 = 7.514; p=.05. Standardized Beta (B) weights indicated significant contributions of teacher-related factors (B = -0.119, t = -2.653; p=.05) and instructional resources (B = -0.106, t = -2.380; p=.05) to student achievement. The findings demonstrated that both variables significantly influence students' performance in Biology Practical. It is recommended that the government enhance support for schools through the provision of instructional resources and materials. Also, teachers who are the link between teaching and learning in our school system should be availed the opportunity to attend hands-on training Keywords: Instructional Resources, Teacher-related Factors, Academic Achievement, Biology, Oyo State Word Count: 265
