Abstract

There seem to be a low attention towards the use of computer as a medium of instruction to optimize education especially in primary schools. This paper, through a quasi-experiment examined the effects of Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) on pupils’ performance in Quantitative and Verbal Reasoning. The population for the study comprised all the public primary school pupils in Lagos State. The target population consists of all the primary five pupils in Lagos State public primary schools. The study purposively sampled 2 Government owned schools based on the availability of computer facility in them and randomly sampled 154 primary school pupils. The research instrument that was used for the study was a researcher-made model. The data generated were analyzed using percentages while the hypotheses formulated in this study were tested using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) at 0.05 alpha level of significance. The findings show that CAI has a significant positive effect on pupils’ performance in Quantitative and Verbal Reasoning. Based on the tested hypotheses, it is hereby recommended that government should provide CAI devices to all public primary schools in Lagos State and proffer the means of using the CAI devices (electricity).
