Abstract: The study investigated the evidence of gender differences in student’s achievement in tie and dye when exposed to video clips and conventional media. The study employed a non equivalent quasi experimental 2×2 factorial research design. We used 86 secondary school students from 2 schools for the study. We used Visual Arts Achievement Test (VAAT) to collect data. Two hypotheses were tested. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and hierarchical Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The results showed that there was a significant main affect for gender on student’s achievement in tie and dye F(1.81) = 4.4, p = 0.039, partial η2 = 0.053 and there was no significant interaction effect of mode of instructional media and gender F(1.81) = 0.152, p = 0.697. We recommended that the Ministries of Education should ensure that teachers should incorporate video clips instructional media for secondary students. Moreover, the teachers should take care of gender differences in dishing out their instructions to the students.
