Effect of Touch-Typing Practices in Computer Literacy and Evaluation of Its Continuity

Abstract

In the computer literacy with a PC at the Japanese university, it was clarified that a touch-typing skill was considerably improved by the touch-typing practice which was given to the first-year students for 15 to 20 minutes. These data was accumulated for seven years from 2002. In addition, it is discussed about how much change in achievement degree was observed for the students who continued this practice to the second-year from the first-year. Furthermore, the authors mentioned the relations between the actual values measured from the touch-typing practices and the self-evaluation of the effect made by the students themselves.
