liii hypotheses were stated in the present research study which were tested using chi-square ( X 2 ) test statistics at 0.05 significance level compared with five (5) null hypotheses stated in the past research study which were tested using correlation coefficient test statistics at 0.68 level of significance. All the five (5) null hypotheses were rejected. The past research study was located in Osun State while the present research study was located in Kwara State. Oyedun, (2000) carried out a research study titled: “Effects of Instructional Materials on Students’ Performance in Geography in selected Secondary Schools in Ilorin South LGA of Kwara State”. The target population was fourteen (14) secondary schools out of which eight (8) secondary schools were selected as the sample by simple random sampling. Three (3) null hypotheses were stated which were tested using correlation coefficient test statistics at 0.8 level of significance, and all the three (3) null hypotheses were accepted. The results showed that about 80% of the respondents did not make use of the instructional materials appropriately which had negative effects on the performance of students in Geography in Secondary Schools in Ilorin South LGA in Kwara State. The present research study is similar in the title, “Influence of Instructional Materials on the Academic Performance of Students in Agricultural Science in Secondary Schools in Kwara State, Nigeria”. The target population for the present research study is two hundred and thirty-five (235) secondary schools out of which thirty (30) secondary schools were selected as the sample compared with fourteen (14) secondary schools as the target population in the past research study out of which eight (8) schools were selected as the sample. Four (4) null research hypotheses were stated in the present liv research study which were tested using chi-square ( X 2 ) test statistics at 5% (0.05) level of significance compared with three (3) null hypotheses stated in the past research study which was tested using correlation coefficient test statistics at 0.8 level of significance. The present research study was located in secondary schools in Kwara State, Nigeria while the past research study was located in selected secondary schools in Ilorin South LGA in Kwara State. Oshadumi, (2003) also carried out a research study titled: “Impact of Instructional Materials on Students Academic Achievement in Agricultural Science at secondary Schools in Okene LGA, Kogi State”. The target population was seventeen (17) secondary schools out of which ten (10) secondary schools were selected as the samples by simple randomization. The instrument used in collecting the data was questionnaire. Four (4) null hypotheses were stated which were tested using correlation coefficient test statistics at 1.00 level of significance. All the four (4) null hypotheses were rejected. The results showed that about 70% of the respondents made use of the instructional materials effectively which had positive impact on the students’ academic achievement in agricultural science in Okene LGA. The present research study is similar in the title “Influence of Instructional Materials on the Academic Performance of Students in Agricultural Science in secondary schools in Kwara State, Nigeria”. The target population for the present research study is two hundred and thirty-five (235) secondary schools out of which thirty (30) secondary schools were selected as the sample. Compared with seventeen (17) secondary schools out of which ten (10) schools were selected as the sample for the past research study using different questionnaire like the present research to collect the data.
