Abstract:
The purpose of this research is to find out the need for improvisation and identify the
problem associated with the teaching of physical education especially in the face of
dwindling resource mobilization in terms of equipment. The descriptive survey research
method was used. Twenty-five (25) teachers in both Nabulo and Wallembelle circuits
were randomly selected as sample for the study. A structured questionnaire which was
face validated by my supervisor ( Dr J. A. Baba ) was used to gather the data. The data
was analyzed using frequency tables and percentages. Based on the data analysis and
discussion, it was realized that improvisation of equipment and is very necessary because
of the increasing number of enrolment figures of students in rural schools. It was
recommended among others that, teachers in the field of physical education and sports
should be encouraged to improvise equipment for use in teaching physical education
using local raw materials so that they can improve upon the teaching and learning of
physical education. This research presents the need for improvisation of equipment and
as a solution for the teaching of practical physical education and sports in the face of lack
of or inadequate funds for schools.
