    This study examined the effect of using instructional television on senior secondary school students' Economics achievement in Kogi State. The study employed quasi-experimental research design involving the non-equivalent pretest, posttest, control group design. The target population comprised 15,550 SS II students from secondary schools in Kogi State for the 2017/2018 academic session. A sample of 120 (85 male and 35 female) SS II students from two randomly selected public secondary schools in Bassa Local Government Area of Kogi State. Data were collected using Economics Achievement Test (EAT). The logical consensus of the experts gave 0.90 index of rational validity and the reliability coefficient of 0.85 was obtained for EAT using Kuder-Richardson formula (K-R21). Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions while Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 alpha. Results revealed that the use of instructional television provided favourable effects on the experimental group and the effect led to significant improvement in students’ achievement in Economics. Similarly, sex does not significantly affect the mean achievement scores of students’ taught Economics using instructional television and those taught using conventional instructional tools. It was concluded that instructional television was more effective in enhancing students’ achievement, in Economics than conventional instructional tools. Thus, the study recommended that instructional television should be used in the teaching of Economics to enhance learning.
