Abstract: Instructional materials (IM) play an essential role in the teaching and learning process. This study aimed at assessing Mentors’ assessment of the design and utilization of instructional materials by Student Teachers of St. Joseph’s College of Education, Bechem who were on a four months teaching practice in selected Basic Schools in the Tano North and South Municipalities of the Ahafo regions as well as the Ahafo-Ano South-East District and Ahafo-Ano North Municipality of the Ashanti region. The study adopted the survey research design. 150 mentors in 50 partner (Junior High) schools were used for the study. Three mentors were randomly selected from each school for the study. The research instrument was a five-point scale questionnaire with 9 items adopted from the PatternonPrince Edward Island Evaluation and Selection of Learning Resources survey form. The instrument had three domains; Instructional Design, Extent of Use and Usefulness. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics including mean, standard deviation and simple percentages. The analysis indicated that instructional materials prepared by the Student Teachers were Very Useful (Mean = 3.73), effective, engaging and well designed. They strongly agreed that the Student Teachers Very Often (Mean = 3.77) used instructional materials in their lesson delivery.
