The effects of two modes of computer assisted instructions on students

This study compared the effectiveness of two modes of computer assisted instruction on students’ achievement and retention in simultaneous equation. The study was carried out in Jega Education Zone of Kebbi State.A sample of two hundred and seventy one (271) students made up of one hundred and thirty two (132) male students and one hundred and thirty nine (139) female students were randomly selected from the schools that have computers in the zone.One intact class was selected from six (6) schools, three schools for boys and three for girls. One class from each school was used as experimental group I, II and control group making of two intact classes for each group. The design of this study was quasi-experimental. Six (6) research questions and six (6) hypotheses guided this study. The instrument used for data collection was simultaneous equation achievement test (SEAT) for pretest and posttest. Simultaneous equation retention test (SERT) was used for retention test. The reliability coefficient of the simultaneous achievement test (SEAT) was calculated at value 0.91 using Kuder-Richardson (KR-20) formula.
