Abstract
Computer Assisted Instructional Package is an innovative and interactive instructional technique of using computers in carrying out teaching and learning activities in the classroom situations. This study examined the effect of Computer Assisted Instructional Package on Upper Basic Social Studies students’ performance in Kwara State, Nigeria. Quasi-experimental study involving 2x2x2 non-randomized and non-equivalent pretest-posttest control groups research design was adopted. A simple random sampling technique was used to select two intact classes, one was an experimental group, the other was a control group. The instruments used were Computer Assisted Instructional Package and Social Studies Performance Tests. Their reliability coefficients were 0.78 and 0.76 respectively. The findings of the study revealed that the mean performance of upper basic students exposed to the package was high. There was a significant effect of the package on upper basic students’ performance in Social Studies (F=18.920, P>0.000); there was no significant interaction effect of gender, school mode and the package on upper basic students’ performance in Social Studies. Based on the findings, it was recommended that Computer Assisted Instructional Package should be used in teaching Social Studies to enhance students’ performance in schools and that the gender friendliness of Social Studies should be sustained.
