The study investigated the effects of the augmented-learning package on the acquisition of computer science procedural skills among junior secondary students of Offa local government, Kwara State. The study adopted the pre-test- post-test experimental research design. The sample for the study comprised 40 students drawn from two junior secondary schools, using a purposive sampling technique. Three research instruments were used to gather data for this study; Computer Science Achievement Test (C-SAT-I), Computer Science Achievement Test (C-SAT-II) and Students’ Classroom Engagement Observational Checklist (SCEOC). The Pearson Product Moment Correlation coefficient (PPMC) was used in determining the reliability of the instruments (r=0.72). The result showed that the augmented-learning package had a significant effect on the academic performance, acquisition of procedural skills and classroom engagement of the students in Computer Science. The study concluded that the use of an augmented-learning package should be deployed in teaching Computer Science in secondary schools because it promises to improve students’ performance.
