One of the hypothesis answered was There is no significant difference in the level of performance between students taught Basic Science concept using Computer-Assisted Instruction and those taught using Lecture Method Major findings of the study revealed that the use of Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) has positive effect on Students‟ acquisition of Science Process Skill, Retention, and Performance among Basic Science Students. Based on the research findings recommendations were made among which include, that the State Ministry of Education should provide adequate Information Technology gadgets such as computers and software/instructions which are the basic equipments needed for the implementation of Computer-Assisted Instruction as a method of teaching. Teachers and students should be exposed to the Computer-Assisted Instructions as an effective modern teaching technique for the improvement of Science Process Skills acquisition, Retention and Performance in Science.
