Four hypotheses guided the findings of the study. The gathered data underwent analysis through both simple linear regression and multiple regression techniques. Findings revealed that active learning strategies have significant joint influence (F3, 27 = 2.096; P<0.05) on the learning outcomes of senior secondary school students in Economics. It was also found that questioning and peer teaching have significant positive influence (.=0.25; P<0.05) and (.=0.29; P<0.05) respectively, on students’ learning outcomes in Economics.
