Impact of Computer Based Instructional Package on Chemistry Students’ Achievement in Learning Oxidation-Reduction Reactions

This study examined the impact of Computer Based Instructional Package on Chemistry students' achievement in learning oxidationreduction reaction. Three research questions were raised and further hypothesised. The research design adopted for the study was the pretest posttest non-equivalent control group quasi experimental design. The population of the study was four hundred and eighty one (481) Chemistry students in senior secondary two in public schools in Oshimili South Local Government Area of Delta State. Simple random sampling (balloting) was used to select two secondary schools. The instrument for data collection was the Chemistry Achievement Test (CAT). The reliability of the instrument was established using KuderRichardson Formula 21 and a value of 0.75 was obtained. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation), t-test and Analysis of Variance. The study concluded that Computer Based Instructional Package significantly improved students’ achievement in oxidation-reduction reactions. It was recommended that chemistry teachers should make use of Computer Based Instructional Package for the teaching and learning of chemistry.
