This research examines the effective use of teaching aids by students studying for a professional diploma in chemistry education (PDE) at the Federal College of Education, Zaria during their teaching practice. Two research questions and a hypothesis were developed to guide the study. The research design used in sampling for the study were the descriptive survey and the Dillman methods. The sample size consisted of one hundred and ninety-six (196) students (respondents) that were selected using simple random sampling. A five (5) item structured questionnaire developed by the researcher was used for data collection. Chi-square (χ2) test statistics were also used to test the hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. The finding obtained from the investigations reveals that teaching aids have significant enhancement on the quality of results obtained by PDE student-teachers because the objectives of the lessons are simplified for ease of achievement, motivation and improved class attendance. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that adequate orientation should be given to the PDE student–teachers on the ways of acquiring teaching aids to achieve greater efficiency.
