ABSTRACT:

This study investigated the influence of upper basic technology teachers’ gender differences and location on the assessment of Computer Programmed Instructional Package
on Energy Concept (CPIPEC) in Ekiti State. The CPIPEC was assessed by 152 upper basic technology teachers using the teacher feedback questionnaire (TFQ). The results revealed
that there was significant difference in the assessment of CPIPEC between male and female upper basic technology teachers with tcal(2.051), which was greater than ttab (1.96). The
means of 69.91 and 74.27 with tcal (3.996) and ttab (1.96) revealed that there was significant difference in CPIPEC assessment between rural and urban area upper basic technology
teachers. From the findings, it was discovered that CPIPEC had been adjudged a welcome innovation, and relevant recommendations on the fact that Federal Government should
provide adequate facilities to encourage the use of computers in schools were made especially in rural areas.
