Abstract

The study investigation the effect of (CAI) computer assisted instruction in teaching and learning of Biology within Seat of Wisdom Secondary School as a case study. The purpose of the study was to find out if there is any effect or impact made using (CAI) in teaching and learning of Biology. The sample for the study consisted of Seat of Wisdom Secondary School SSI student.  The sample procedures were experimental group and control group using a t-test method matching questions and interview used for the study. The data collected were organized in tables and analyzed in t-test. The investigation formulated four hypothesis and based on these hypothesis contracted twenty-five test terms for the students to answer, the result showed that students use CAI benefited and enjoyed more and that was a great benefit in the student performance and understanding four hypothesis were tested and the findings of the work were discussed. Limitations, implications, of the study and recommendation were put forward and suggestions were made for further studies. in conclusion, computer aided instruction is an effective tool in teaching nd learning of Biology and other subjects
