Quasi-experimental design was used to execute the study. Two public secondary schools were randomly selected for the study. One hundred and twenty five students were purposefully selected from the two randomly selected public secondary schools in the study area. The students selected from the two schools were assigned to two groups in which one group was assigned to experimental and the other to control. The students in the experimental group were taught using instructional aids for six weeks by the researchers. Data were collected through Economics Achievement Test (EAT) designed by the researchers. The data were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) . The study showed a significant difference in achievement mean scores of students in the experimental and control groups; and a non-significant interaction effect of gender and treatment on achievement mean scores ofthe students. It was therefore recommended that; students should corroborate the efforts of teachers in the provision of local instructional aids to enhance learning and promote academic performance in schools; and that teachers should always try their best to make use of available instructional materials where necessary to make their lessons more interesting.  \nKeywords: instructional aids, economics, achievement, students, Kwara State  \nINTRODUCTION  \nEconomics is one of the subjects offered by Senior Secondary School Students in Nigeria. According to Dwivedi (2004) Economics is the study of how society decides what, how and for whom to produce goods which are physical commodities such as steel and strawberries and render services which are activities such as message or life concerts consumed or enjoyed only at the instant they are produced. He went further to say that the question of what, how and for whom to produce is either answered by a central planning agency or the price mechanism depending on the economic system practiced by a country. The level of understanding of Economics a student acquires will determine his ability in solving economic problems and making of rational decisions concerning the society. This suggests that student’s ability to apply economics principles will be determined by academic performance in the subject.  \nOver the years, the society has been shifting the blame of poor performance of students in public examinations, especially in Economics, on the wrong choice of teaching methods by teachers.  \nTeaching and learning processes revolves around other variables, such as instructional aids, teacher’s qualification, school environment variables, students’ factors and so on. In this study, instructional aid is the main focus in order to unveil their effects on the academic performance of students. The place of Instructional Aids in any teaching/learning process cannot be over emphasized. This is for the fact that such materials enhance, facilitate and make teaching/learning easy, lively and concrete.  \nInstructional aids are the devices acquired, developed or improvised to assist or facilitate teachers in communicating an organized knowledge, skills and attitudes to the learners during teaching and learning process (Nwachukwu, 2006) . According to Mbipom (2000) teacher uses instructional aids to achieve his set objectives because the sequence in which learners encounter materials will have both direct and indirect effects on the achievement of the ma","cbCaiu37z4RTXB2g","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu37z4RTXB2g","pdf",448603,"English","# Introduction\n## Background of Economics Education\n## Instructional Aids as a Teaching/Learning Factor\n## Conflicting Studies on Instructional Aids","[{\"question\":\"What was the focus of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study focused on determining the effects of instructional aids on secondary school students’ academic achievement in economics in Kwara State.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the study conducted?\",\"answer\":\"A quasi-experimental design was used with two randomly selected public secondary schools.
