The Relationship between Previous Training in Computer Science and the Acquisition of Word Processing Skills.

Monahan, Brian D.

Educational Technology, v26 n3 p22-25 Mar 1986

This study investigated whether computer science educational background makes secondary students more adept at using word processing capabilities, and compared computer science and non-computer science students' writing improvement with word processing use. Computer science students used more sophisticated program features but student writing did not improve significantly with program use. (MBR)
