摘要：This study sought to determine teachers’ perception of the effectiveness of Computer-Assisted-Instruction (CAI) in the teaching of junior secondary school Social Studies in Nnewi education zone, Anambra state. A descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. Three research questions and three hypotheses (at 0.05 level of significance) guided the study. The population of the study consisted of all the twenty-nine Social Studies teachers in the education zone. There was no sampling since the entire population of the study was used. A 16-item questionnaire titled “Questionnaire on teachers’ perception of the effectiveness of Computer-Assisted-Instruction (CAI) on the teaching of junior secondary school Social Studies” was used for data collection. Data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation while t-test statistic was employed to test the null hypotheses. The findings of the study showed that the respondents perceived CAI to be effective in the teaching of Social Studies in junior secondary school in the education zone. The findings also showed that there is no significant difference in the mean perception of Social Studies Head teachers and teachers on the effectiveness of CAI in the teaching of JSS Social Studies. It was also shown that there is no significant difference in the mean perception of male and female Social Studies teachers on the effectiveness of CAI in the teaching of JSS Social Studies. Similarly, it was also revealed that there is no significant difference in the mean perception of urban and rural Social Studies teachers on the effectiveness of CAI in the teaching of JSS Social Studies curriculum. These findings were exhaustively discussed with far-reaching implications, conclusion and recommendations on the efficacy of CAI in enhancing students’ achievement and teachers’ knowledge of JSS Social Studies.
