Abstract

This paper looked at audio-visual aids in the teaching of sport concepts for sustainable development in Nigeria. The study sought to find out whether department, levels of study, ages of students and genders influence the utilization of audio-visual aids in the day-today teaching of sport concepts and skills, thereby enabling sustainable development in Nigeria. The researcher observed that audio-visual equipment were not available for teaching concepts and skills such as hurdles, throws, games and so on. This posed challenges to sustainable and effective learning. A total of one hundred and fifty respondents were sampled for the study using purposive sampling technique. The respondents were drawn from Department of Human Kinetics and Health Education within the Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology, Ikere Ekiti, Nigeria. The instrument for data collection was a self-structured questionnaire. Hypotheses were formulated and tested using inferential statistics of ANOVA and t-test at 0.05 level of confidence. It was found that department influenced application of hearing and visual-aids in learning of sport skills while levels of study, age and gender did not. It was therefore recommended that Departments of Human Kinetics and Health Education should revolutionize teaching and practical classes using materials for sight and hearing aids by updating classroom facilities in the department in form of ICT by making provisions for interactive television, computers, internet and public address system that will enhance retention of concepts in the learners thereby ensuring sustainable development.

Highlights

Audio-visual aids are most effective equipment for enhancing unimpeded communication and interaction among students, instructors and sport contents
Ho2 There will be no significant influence of level in the use of audio-visual aids in learning of sport terminologies in the Department of Human Kinetics and Health Education, Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology, Ikere Ekiti
Hypothesis 1: There will be no significant influence of department in the use of audio-visual aid in teaching of sport skills in the Department of Human Kinetics and Health Education, Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology, Ikere Ekiti

Summary

Introduction

Audio-visual aids are most effective equipment for enhancing unimpeded communication and interaction among students, instructors and sport contents. Skills like ball control, throwing, rules in footballs, athletics skills and so on could be demonstrated using audio-visual aids. These equipment help to save the time of sport instructor and help in encouraging and arousing desires, creativity and interest of learners and instructors. The National Association for Sport and Physical Education [12] believes that technology such as audio visual aids can be an effective tool for supplementing instruction when used appropriately. Audio-visual based teaching is a system based on sound decision making and learning of sports concepts and skills [8]
