The study examined the availability, adequacy and utilization of instructional facilities in teaching and learning Office Technology and Management courses in polytechnics in Kwara State, Nigeria. To facilitate the conduct of the study, three specific purposes, three research questions and three null hypotheses were formulated. The study adopted the Cognitive Learning Theory. A descriptive survey design was used. The population of the study consisted of lecturers and students of all accredited office technology and management programme in Kwara state, Nigeria. The population of the study consisted of all academic staff and students of Office Technology and Management department in two accredited State and Federal owned polytechnics in Kwara State, Nigeria. The number of academic staff and students was 563.The researcher adopted the entire population for the study, hence there was no sample. A 32 item questionnaire tagged ‘Availability, adequacy and utilization of instructional facilities in teaching and learning office technology and management courses in polytechnics in Kwara state, Nigeria’ with 4-point rating scale was the instrument used for data collection. The instrument went through face and content validation by two experts. The reliability of the instrument was ensured using the Cronbach Coefficient Alpha and the result yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.88. The data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The Mean was used to answer the research questions while the standard deviation was used to determine the closeness or otherwise of the responses from the mean. The hypothesis was tested using t-test at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that instructional facilities for teaching and learning office technology and management courses in polytechnics are available but of poor quality. The findings further reveals that instructional facilities for teaching and learning office technology and management course in polytechnic are partially inadequate and also, partially utilized. It was concluded that instructional facilities are available in office technology and management departments for teaching and learning but in poor quality. Furthermore, instructional facilities for teaching and learning are partially adequate and partially utilized. Based on the findings and conclusion of the study, it was recommended among others that National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) should initiate a policy that would emphasize that any polytechnic without appropriate and quality instructional facilities available for teaching and learning would not be accredited to run office technology and management programme.
