dc.description.abstractIT-based insruction in contemporary education has the potentials to accelerate, enrich and deepen skills, and provide opportunities for connection between the school and the world of globalisation. It has been observed that since the introduction of mordern IT-based insruction into mordern teaching and learning process, social studies education is yet to comply adequately with this trend of teaching, this is due to the fact that most teachers and students in social studies are not computer literate. Even in cases where the teachers are literate, they find it challenging to alter the traditional techniques of teaching in favour modern ITbased instruction. Basically, the thrust of this experiment is centered on the effect of Information Technology-based instruction on the academic performance in social studies among NCE students in Kogi state, thus, the quasi experimental design was adopted for the study and a sample of 120 was selected through the simple ramdom sampling. The SPSS version 16 was used to analyse the t-test statistic, and the level of significance for determining the statistical significance of the study, was placed at 0.05 with the degree of freedom of 118 for hypothesis one and 58 for hypotheses two, three and four. The result showed among other findings that there is significant difference between the academic performance of students taught social studies using IT-based instruction and their counterparts taught with traditional techniques. The result of the findings revealed further that gender is not a barrier to the application of IT-based instruction into social studies teaching and the last leg of the experiment affirmed the postulation that there is a significant difference between the academic performance of social studies students in Federal government-owned institution and state governmentowned institution when applying IT-based instruction in teaching, this means that the location of an institution is paramount to the academic performance of students in social studies education. Finally, the study recommended an outright incorporation of modern IT-based instruction in teaching. It called for the training and retraining of social studies teachers in the organisation of contents using ITbased instruction in teaching.en_US
