Abstract

The main objective of this study was to examine the impact of Teaching-Learning Materials on students' academic performance in Government Primary Schools in the Naseerabad Division of Baluchistan, Pakistan. For this purpose, the data was collected from 200 head teachers, 8 educational administrators, 32 parents and 32 community members. The data collected through the questionnaire was analyzed using frequency distribution, percentage, Pearson correlation, and logistic regression. On the other hand, thematic analysis was used to analyze data collected through interview schedules and focus group discussions. The study found that teaching-learning materials significantly influence students' academic performance, and they play a crucial role in increasing students' engagement and understanding of complex concepts, improving retention, and boosting motivation and examination performance. Therefore, the study recommended, among others, that governments need to allocate more funds to provide teaching-learning materials to schools to enhance students' academic performance.
