The study was aimed at analyzing the effect of using Computer Based Tutorials (CBTs) on the academic achievements of male students at elementary. The objective of study was to explore the treatment effect of CBTs on the academic achievements of the male students of 8th class. All the male students of FGEI C/G Schools of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa constituted as the population of the study. Twenty two male students of 8th class were determined as sample of the study from FG Public School No.1. Then pair random sampling technique was used to divide the students into two equal groups on the basis pretest test scores. The designed selected for the study was Post-test Only Equivalent Group Design. The data was collected by using teacher-made post-test. Then, independent sample t-test was used for interpretation collected data. The results obtained from the findings of study divulged that the performance of the students of the experimental group was better than the students of control group. This finding depicts that computer based tutorials played a significant role in the academic achievements of the male students of experimental group. Therefore, it was proposed that CBTs based teaching programs may be included in educational institutions at elementary level, especially for the subjects of Pakistan Studies and Social Studies. The current study is conducted at elementary level in the subject of Pakistan Studies. To investigate in-depth understanding of the CBTs program, it is recommended that further studies may be conducted at divers’ samples at different levels.
