Abstract
This study examined the impact of programmed instruction on academic performance and motivation of JSS students in social studies in Abaji Area Council, Abuja, Nigeria. The study was conducted with four research objectives each for academic performance and motivation respectively. Four research questions were asked while four null hypotheses were formulated and tested at P< 0.05; literature related to the study were also reviewed. The study was carried out using universal basic education junior secondary schools in Abaji Area Council, Abuja. To be specific, JSS I students of UBE JSS Abaji, Naharati, Pandagi and Agyana with a population of 621, using quasi-experimental design. The bio-data of the respondents were analyzed with the use of frequency and percentages, while mean and standard deviation was used to answer the research questions. All the four null hypotheses were tested at 0.05% level of significance using t-test. A taste of independent sample used to compare the performance and motivation of students taught social studies using programmed instruction with the performance of the group taught using only the traditional methods.
