Abstract
This paper explores the extent to which transparencies and PowerPoint slides can aid inductive teaching from the point of view of the teacher-researcher and the students. The finding is that transparencies are more effective tools to aid inductive teaching though PowerPoint slides are visually more attractive. There are inherent limitations in the PowerPoint software that make it impossible to function effectively as an aid for inductive teaching. It is suggested that certain functions should be built into the PowerPoint software so that the slides can become effective tools both for deductive presentation and inductive teaching.
