Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of computer assisted instructional package on the performance of senior secondary school students in music in Oyo. Nigeria. The pre test, post test control group design was used for the study. Eighty (80) students were randomly selected (40 males and 40 females) from two secondary schools that took part in the study. The students were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups respectively. The subjects in the experimental group were taught using computer assisted instructional package (CAIP) on Music, while the control group were taught using conventional method. The treatment for the study was the CAIP and Music performing Test (MUPET). The Music Performance Test contained 20 multiple test questions and was administered to the students as pre test and post test. Two hypotheses were postulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance using Analysis of covariance. Finding indicated that there is significant differences between the performance of students taught with CAIP and those taught using the conventional method and that gender had influence in the performances. In line with the findings, recommendation was made that computer assisted instructional packages CAIPs should be develop for teaching Music topics in Nigerian Senior Secondary Schools.
