Abstract

 

Comparative study of the relationship between the performance of students in shorthand and typing 
was conducted by statistical analysis of results of 84 students of secretarial studies in Akwa Ibom State 
Polytechnic. The analysis shows that there was no significant difference between the performances of 
students in typing and shorthand (t = 0.38333, n = 84,  = 0.05). Correlation between the two set of 
results was positive and significant (r = 0.54480, n = 84, =0.05). Effect size of d = 1.3 was obtained. The 
performance of students in typing has been found to be related to the performance of students in 
shorthand.  
 
Key words: Student’s performance, shorthand and typing, statistical relationship.
