Abstract

 Given the tremendous global development in Information and Communication Technology, the use of computers in education is becoming indispensable. Nigeria cannot afford to be left behind in this development. Computer Concept Mapping (CCM) is a way of employing computers in education to aid learning. CCM is a visual representation of knowledge by showing the relationship between concepts and ideas using computer software. It is student-centred learning approach that employs computer software in knowledge construction, which can help fosterstudents’ academic achievement. The study adopted a quasi-experimental research design. The population consisted of 838 undergraduate 300 level students in College of Education, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. The sample size of 89 students was used for the study using proportionate stratified simple random sampling technique. Measurement and Evaluation Achievement Test (MEAT) was used for data collection. A reliability index of0.85 was obtained using Kuder-Richardson (K-R21) which guaranteed the use ofthe instrument for the study. The data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation for answering the research questions while ANCOVA was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level ofsignificance. The results showed that CCM improved students’ academic achievement in Measurement an Evaluation. The findings also showed that CCM is gender insensitive on students’ achievement in Measurement and Evaluation. It is recommen e among others that lecturers should incorporate CCM in their teac ing o enhance students’ achievement in Measurement and Evaluation
