Abstract
The study aimed at establishing the relationship and prediction power of Business Education students’ computational skill (CPS) on their academic performance (CGPA) at college of education level. Two research questions and two hypotheses were formulated for the study. The design of the study was a correlational survey design. The population of the study were 408 NCEIII business education students and stratified random sampling was employed in selecting the research sample. Data collected from a CPS test and analysed using Microsoft Excel (2007). The results of relationship between CPS and CGPA received. 226 which is a low but positive, with a prediction power of 25.57% showing low relationship but strong predicting paper. It was therefore recommended that Business education departments should strive hard to create students awareness on the relevance of Computational skill to their field of study and to device means of improving students’ computational skill for an enhanced performance.
