The Effects of Phases of Keyboarding Speed on Student Grades in Beginning Computer Classes.

Maxam, Susan E.; Stocker, H. Robert

Delta Pi Epsilon Journal, v35 n4 p233-44 Fall 1993

In 18 beginning computer classes of middle and high school students, 409 pre- and postsemester keyboarding timings were taken. Significant differences in grades were related to developmental phase (those in cognitive or overlap phases had lower grades than those in associative phase--over 25 words per minute). Students showed significant progress in phases over the semester. (SK)
