Abstract

This study examines the Use of Computer Assisted Packages on Enhancing Academic Performance of Senior Secondary School in Wudil Local Government Area. Using a quasi-experimental design with 180 students and 15 teachers, the study analyzed pre-test and post-test data through frequency distribution tables and ANOVA. The frequency distribution revealed a higher concentration of students achieving above-average scores when computer assistance instructional package were utilized. ANOVA results confirmed a statistically significant improvement in academic performance for students using computer assistance tools compared to those taught through traditional methods (p < 0.05). Additionally, the study found that computer assistance instructional package enhanced student engagement and motivation, with positive feedback from teachers regarding their integration into the curriculum. The findings suggest that computer assistance instructional technologies can significantly improve educational outcomes in Computer Science, advocating for their broader adoption and the provision of adequate teacher training.
