A survey research design was adopted and 100 students were randomly selected from four Senior Secondary Schools. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data and Arithmetic means and Pearson correlation were used for analysis of data. The result revealed that relationship between the usage of Assignment method of teaching and the students’ academic achievement in Economics is statistically significant. Also, the result showed that gender has no significant influence on students’ academic achievement when taught using Assignment method. Based on these findings, it was recommended that Economics teachers should always adopt learner-centered instructional strategies.
