ABSTRACT
The study examined the effect of blended learning
instructional approach on students’ academic achievement in
geography. Two research hypotheses were generated to guide
the study. A pre-test posttest control group quasi
experimental research design was adopted in the study. A
total of 110 senior secondary students were used in the
study. Two instruments used in the study are: Geography
student achievement test (GSAT) and blended learning package
(BLP). Descriptive statistics and t-test were used in the
analysis of data. The findings of the study revealed that
blended learning instructional approach was more effective
in enhancing students’ achievement in geography than
conventional teaching method. The result also revealed that
there was no significant difference between the academic
achievement of male and female students. Based on these
findings it was recommended that trainings, seminars and
workshops should be organized for the secondary school
teachers on the use of blended learning instructional
approach and online learning in the teaching of various
subjects especially geography. The study also recommended
that schools should be equipped with adequate computer
systems and internet facilities.
