The research questions were analyzed using means and standard deviation. Hypotheses 1 to 5 were tested using t-test statistics, while hypothesis 6 was tested using analysis of variance (ANOVA) at 0.05 level of significance. Findings of the study revealed that: students taught Economics using discovery method of teaching performed significantly better than those taught using conventional method of teaching in senior secondary schools in Benue State, Nigeria; significant difference does exists between the academic performances of students taught production using discovery method of teaching and those taught using conventional method of teaching in senior secondary schools in Benue State among other things.
