Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Electronic Tablet as an Instructional Tool (ETIT) on students’ geometry retention at senior secondary school one. The research was carried out in Osun west education district of Osun State with a population of 12,431 senior secondary one students. 168 students were sampled from four schools out of 68 government owned senior secondary schools. Quasi-experimental design of nonrandomizedpre-test post-test control group design was adopted. The research instrument was GeometryRetention Test (GRT) which was used for collection of data. The GRT was validated by experts and this gavea reliability index of 0.68. Three research questions were asked and answered using means and standarddeviations. The three hypotheses formulated were tested at 0.05 level of significance using Analysis ofCovariance. The study found among others that the students taught using Electronic Tablet as an Instructional Tool improved intheir geometry than those taught without Electronic Tablet as an Instructional Tool. It was therefore, recommended that Electronic Tablet should be incorporated among instructional materials for teaching mathematics.
