ABSTRACT

The study examined the effect of computer assisted instruction (CAI) on secondary students’ achievements in Basic science and technology in Ekiti state, Nigeria. It also investigated the influence of gender on the achievement of students exposed to computer assisted instruction. The study was a quasi-experimental of non-equivalent, pretest, posttest control group design (two experimental and control group) with one hundred and twenty. Junior secondary school class two students as sample. Computer assisted instruction {animation and onscreen test, animation, on screen test and narration} was used as treatment while the instrument used to gather data is Basic Science and Technology Achievement Tests (BASATAT). The items of the instrument were subjected to face and content validity. The reliability of the instrument was established using test-retest method and a reliability co-efficient of 0.75 was obtained. Analysis Of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used in analyzing Data collected. The study found that, there was a significant difference between the posts –test mean score of the experimental groups and control group. The study also indicates no gender influence in the use of Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) and student achievement.

Keywords: Computer Assisted Instruction, Students’ achievement, Basic science and technology, public schools, power supply.

Impact statement

Academic achievement is the progress made towards the goals of acquiring educational skills materials and knowledge, usually spanning through a variety of disciplines. It refers to achievement in academic settings rather than general acquisition of knowledge in non-academic settings; unlike typical forms of achievement, academic achievement is usually viewed without definitive endpoint. Rather the concept is understood as a spectrum along which one can achieve certain skills and knowledge with the possibility of further developing those skills and increasing the depth, breadth and specificity of knowledge.

The use of computer assisted instruction as indicated in this study has facilitated the improved students achievement. It helps in making difficult concepts easier to understand in Basic Science and Technology, as the subject matter is dynamic, it was shown in the study that the use of Animation, on-screen text and Narration helped the students to improve the academic achievement in Basic Science and Technology.
