LOW-COST

The research examines how affordable teaching materials affect students' understanding of heat transfer at the University of Benin. Two research questions and two hypotheses were developed and answered to guide the study. A quasi-experimental survey design was utilized, with 50 participants selected purposefully from the Health, Safety, and Environmental Education (HSE) department, specifically 100 level students. A structured questionnaire created by the researcher was used to collect data, which was then analyzed using mean, standard deviation and frequency counts for descriptive purposes. The findings indicate that inexpensive teaching materials have a significant impact on both teaching and learning processes, as well as on the long-term retention of environmental education knowledge when implemented in instruction.
