This study primarily aimed to investigate the level of satisfaction on different instructional materials
offered to maritime students of LIMA in relation to content, equity and accessibility, assessment, organization
and presentation, and instructional design and support. This research was also pursued to identify the
instructional materials frequently utilized by the students of LIMA and the problems encountered in the use of
such materials. Descriptive type of research was utilized in the study. The respondents of the study were two
hundred-forty (240) students that were chosen on the basis of random sampling, where samples were taken
proportionally with the total number of population in different programs of LIMA. The results showed that most
of the instructional materials in LIMA were able to utilize, though some students were not mindful of the
available aids so they are not able to maximize the function of it. Awareness of the materials available can
enhance one’s memory, focus and concentration, writing skills, and analytical thinking abilities. The study
yielded that most of the respondents were satisfied with the instructional materials in relation to various
criteria. The respondents believed that conditions and quality of instructional materials were not optimal of its
price and instructional aids were late in late in the field of technology and advancement. The demand of
maritime students to have a competitive edge on the instructional aids includes the all materials offered by an
educational institution wherein these should meet the satisfaction of these students in all key areas and
problems; otherwise such institution has to take appropriate action and measure to improve its services.
