Abstract
One of the basic factors for effective teaching and learning is the availability of pertinent information packaged to meet the standard or level of particular students.
In view of this, most programmes in the Senior Secondary Schools in Ghana have been provided with textbooks for their various subject areas. But unfortunately the Visual Arts Programmes in the Ghanaian Senior Secondary Schools have no textbooks, besides the General Knowledge in Art.
Ceramics, one of the Visual Art course in the Senior Secondary Schools is faced with similar challenge.
This study aims at providing a handbook of ceramics for SSS year one. An analysis of responses to questionnaires pertaining to teachers and students access to textbooks or reference materials in ceramics, as well as assessment of the possible factors impeding smooth teaching and learning of the course as a result of limited course book are made.
Pertinent and relevant information based on the SS 1 syllabus were searched for and compiled into a handbook to assist in improving the teaching and learning of ceramics in the first year of the Senior Secondary Schools in Ghana. The effectiveness of the book was, however, tested. Suggestions for further improvement upon teaching and learning of ceramics at the SSS are finally made.
