Abstract
Projected-Media are those materials that are projected (enlarged) for better visualization of the
class during teaching and multimedia projectors are those gadgets that are used for projecting the
materials or media. Due to the importance of projected media in learning, this study was designed
to assess the impact of the use of projected media in learning of Basic Science and Technology in
Upper Basic Schools in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. The study was a quasi-experimental research
design of the pre-test, post-test and non-randomized control group design. One hundred and
eighteen (118) students were sampled to constitute the experimental group while forty one (41)
students were sampled for the control group. An achievement test named “Basic Science and
Technology Achievement Test (BSTAT)” with a reliability index of 0.87 was used as research
instrument. Data were analysed using t-Test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at .05 level of
significance. Findings revealed among others that there was significant difference in the learning
outcome of pupils taught Basic Science and Technology with projected media and those taught
without the use of projected media in favour of those taught with projected media. It was therefore
recommended that teachers should use projected media for teaching Basic Science and Technology
in their schools
