Abstract
The study investigated the effects of computer assisted instruction on students’ achievement and retention in Niger State. Three research questions and three hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The design adopted for the study was a quazi experimental one. Two hundred (200) students from four selected schools within the two educational zones were used as research sample. The sample schools were purposively selected. The experimental group was exposed to computer assisted instruction package in Nupe language while the control group was taught same topics with conventional method. Secondary school mathematics achievement test (SSMAT), the test contained 30 (thirty) multiple choice items with four options (A – D) for each item was used to collect data for both pre and post tests. A reliability coefficient of 0.74 was obtained. The data were analyzed using t-test statistics. The hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that students taught mathematics with computer assisted instruction package in Nupe language performed better than those taught with conventional teaching method and gender has no effect on their mathematics achievement scores. It was recommended among others, that mathematics teachers should continuously use computer software in teaching mathematics as it guarantees improvement in student achievement in mathematics.
