Abstract
This study made its objective to be assessing the practice and problems of educational materials resource management in selected government general secondary schools in Addis Ababa. It was concerned with material management functions (such as, planning, purchasing distribution, controlling etc), challenges faced for effective management and utilization of educational material management, and implementation of policies and guidelines. To meet already stated objective descriptive survey design is used to carry out this study. This is so because the design helps to obtain first hand information from multiple sources. Four groups of respondents were participated in the study. These were academic and administrative staff, sub city officers and PTSA members. As of study areas, 3 sub cities and 6 schools were selected randomly. Respondents were selected by purposive sampling technique due to their direct relation with the issue under study and also to gain sufficient information. Availability and simple random sampling techniques were also employed. The data was collected through questionnaire, interviews and personal observation. Data gathered through questionnaire were quantitatively analyzed using SPSS percentage, mean value whereas the data gathered through interview open ended questions and observation were qualitatively analyzed. Having gone through these all the study found out that participation of stake holders in material management function process were not run properly. Integrated material management functions were not properly implemented. Lack of training and continuous supervision in the area of educational material management was challenging. Based on these findings, it is found legitimate to forward some recommendation. Therefore capacitating professionals’ through training assist users in putting these materials in to effective usage. To develop positive attitude towards the management and utilization of educational materials, school managements should work closely with the school community and stakeholders. Organized and integrated education materials management system should be designed by concerned bodies to utilize and manage materials properly.
