Should Keyboarding Instruction Precede College-Level Computer Classes?
Petersen, Ruth P.
Business Education Forum, v45 n8 p31-32 May 1991
One group of college students who had no previous keyboarding instruction and one group who had were tested after three months of microcomputer use. Previous instruction was found to increase speed; no significant difference in mean error scores appeared. Proficiency appeared to be enhanced by previous keyboarding instruction. (SK)
