A sample size of 240 students was selected randomly from a population of 8979 secondary school student from 21 secondary schools in Dawakin Tofa. Using intact class from six schools, 122 experimental and the other 118 were for control group.

From the result of findings, it was confirmed that, there is significant difference in the academic performance scores of Islamic Studies Students exposed to non-projected visual resources and those taught the same concept just using conventional method. Subjects in the experimental group perform better than control group. The result obtained further revealed that there is no significant difference in the performance of the subject exposed to non-projected visual resources in the rural and urban area as well as among male and female students. Based on the findings of this study, it was recommended that the use of non-projected visual resources in teaching Islamic studies in school should be encouraged by Federal Ministry of Education, and State Ministries of Education, through organizing seminars and workshops to teachers on utilization of non-projected visual resources in teaching and to provide non-projected visual materials for teaching Islamic studies particularly in junior Secondary Schools of the Federation among others.
