dc.description.abstract The purpose of the study was to explore the utilisation and challenges faced by teachers and students in the use of instructional media/technology in the teaching and learning process, what resources are available, whether or not the resources were adequate, their accessibility, interactivity, appropriateness and usage, the novelty of the instructional technologies and trendiness on use. The embedded exploratory sequential mixed method was adopted with sample size of 252 students, 92 teachers and 8 headteachers chosen using the Yamane’s formula from eight basic schools within the Offinso Municipality. Data were collected using questionnaires, interviews and observation schedules. The obtained data were analyzed systematically using descriptive statistics and presented with the help of frequency tables, graphs and percentages with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS).The study revealed that most of the instructional media/technologies were available but inadequate in terms of quantity.The use of instructional media/technologies was influenced by their accessibility, availability and appropriateness, how they enhance learning, knowledge and skills on usage, curriculum requirement and administration support. It was concluded that print resources were the most commonly used available instructional media/technologies. Both teachers and students faced several challenges in the utilisation of media/technology such as inadequate knowledge, skills, funds and resources,lack of accessibility, administrative support, large class sizes which need resolutions. The study however recommended that teachers should try as much as possible to integrate instructional media/technologies in the teaching and learning processes to enhance lessons. Familiarisation and sensitisation workshops, siminars and in-service training on regular basis should be organised by the education directorate and other stakeholders. en_US
