Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of computer-aided instruction on the academic achievement of students in commerce in senior secondary schools in Delta State. The study utilized a quasi-experimental design. Six research questions were used, so as to help find a good instructional method that will help to improve students academic performance in commerce.
