<p>&nbsp;<i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;&#10;font-family:&quot;Calii&quot;,sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:Calii;mso-bidi-font-family:&#10;Mangal;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:&#10;AR-SA">Learning through Computer Aided/Assisted Instructions (CAI) is a relatively new and rapidly evolving concept in the academic field that explores the role of Information and Communication Technologies in teaching and learning process. Considering the importance of computer in the field of education this pilot study was conducted to find out the effectiveness of computer-assisted teaching method over the teacher-centered method together with the academic achievement of geography students. In this study, the randomized posttest only control group design was used and 11th class concepts (Interior of the Earth, Minerals &amp; Rocks, impact of Exogenic forces on earth crust) of geography were selected for the study. This pilot study has lasted for one month with the post- test of both the groups. After t-test analysis, data revealed that computer-assisted instruction is more effective than the teacher-centered/traditional method to increase the academic achievement in geography</span></i></p>
