Subjects in all groups were thought the same geographical unit presented in their textbook, the computer group studied using computer instructional program with research method, the research group studied using research method and the control group studied using the traditional method. All subject were tested before and after the experiment using the same performance test. when date were analyzed, statistical significant differences were found among the groups. Those taught using computer – aided instruction performed better than those taught with either the traditional or research method. Additional analysis were performed to test the effectiveness of the methods in developing geographical information more than those taught with either the traditional or research methods.
