description: ABSTRACT

This study examined the effect of computer usage on academic achievement in mathematics of junior secondary School students in Ardo-Kola Local Government Area. Taraba State, Nigeria. Survey research design was adopted for the study, the population of the study was 3,001 teachers and students out of which One hundred and twenty (120) were sampled using simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using structure Questionnaires. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, it was found that: Computer usage have a positive impact on students’ academic achievement in junior secondary school in Ardo-Kola Local Government Area.From the finding of Hypothesis, the researcher conclude that there is significant relationship between computer usage and academic achievement in mathematics of junior secondary school students in Ardo-kola Local Government Area. Based on the above findings it was recommended that teachers and students especially of Mathematics should be made to learn how to write simple computer program, in order to aid fast integration of skills in developing CAI by teachers.
