the study comprised all SS II students in all the secondary schools in Abakaliki Urban offering financial
accounting. Four secondary schools were selected out of the fourteen secondary schools in Abakaliki offering
financial accounting. Two schools were assigned to the treatment group while the other two were assigned to
the control group. A total of one hundred and sixty-three (163) students offering financial accounting were used
for the study. Two instructional packages were developed, one for the treatment group and the other was
subjected to the conventional method of teaching financial accounting. The financial accounting achievement
