dc.description	The use of internet has been widely accepted as a way of improving students’ performance in several subjects area. However, there is dearth of studies on the relationship between internet browsing, and students’ achievement in school subjects such as Agricultural Science. This study therefore, sought to investigate the relationship between internet browsing and students’ achievement in Agricultural Science. A sample of 300 students was drawn from 10 schools from the five local government areas of Ogbomoso. Internet Browsing Pattern Questionnaire (IBPQ) and Agricultural Achievement Test (AAT) were used to collect data. Cronbach alpha correlation coefficient of 0.807 (IBPQ) and 0.9531 (AAT) were estimated for the instruments. Four research questions were answered. Descriptive statistics and Pearson moment correlation were used to analyze data. Majority of the students have access to the internet. Most of the students that have access to the internet browse more for non-educative information (socio-networking sites).The relationship between internet browsing and students’ achievement in Agricultural Science through positive is not significant.
