The research study investigated the effects of teaching with Concept Mapping instructional strategy on learning achievement in Nigeria Secondary Schools. The research study adopted the Quasi-Experimental Research design. The population comprised of a sample of 168 Senior Secondary School Class-two Physics students purposively selected from Senior Secondary Schools across Ekiti State, Nigeria. The Instrument used consisted in two parts: a) Motion Concept Map developed for the research study and; b) printed materials in the form of tutorial test items developed and used to elicit responses to the treatment. The research hypotheses tested were; there is no significant effect of treatment on students’ learning achievement; there is no significant effect of treatment on students’ retention; there is no significant effect of treatment on students’ learning attitude. The research study revealed that: Concept Mapping Instructional strategy contributed to learning achievement in physics; there is significant effect of treatment on students’ retention of learned materials; there is significant effect in students’ learning attitude. Result established that the instructional strategy when integrated with any method of instruction resulted in improved learning achievement.
