The present study explores the use of teaching learning aids in Geography learning in Government High schools of Koppal district, with the aim of strengthening geography laboratory facilities and enhancing the teaching learning process. A content analysis of Government high school textbooks and teachers’ handbooks identified essential topics in physical geography, categorized into nine domains: climatology, hydrology, soil geography, economic geography, cartography, remote sensing, and population geography. Based on this analysis, key teaching learning aids including graphic tools, audiovisual aids, 3D models, library resources, planned instructional materials, and laboratory equipment were listed. To examine the practical usage of these aids, a structured questionnaire was administered to 101 Social Science teachers across four taluks of Koppal district: Koppal, Kushtagi, Gangavathi, and Yelburga. The questionnaire focused on the types, frequency, and effectiveness of instructional materials such as globes, maps, television, tape recorders, radio, and charts in Geography instruction. Data were analysed using various statistical techniques to derive meaningful interpretations. The findings are expected to provide insights into the effective integration of teaching aids, thereby promoting conceptual understanding, spatial awareness, and more meaningful learning experiences for students in Geography.
