University of Michigan-Dearborn: Keyboarding Skills for Middle School Students Abstract Method Instrument Procedure Results ... References Method This six-week study was conducted at a public middle school in a United States metropolitan area. The target population of the study involved a sixth and a seventh grade keyboarding class. A total of forty-nine students participated in the study. This included twenty-four sixth grade students, (ten females and fourteen males) and twenty five seventh grade students (ten females and fifteen males). The seventh grade students received instruction in computer applications prior to the study. The sixth grade students received no formal training in computer applications prior to participating in this study. Instrument The assessment instrument used for data collection was a three-minute timed post-test. Speed, accuracy, and the number of touch typers by each grade were measured. The test was taken from a middle school keyboarding textbook used for instruction and was used to measure the number of typed words-per-minute and total number of errors for each student. A visual test was designed by the investigator to record the number of touch typers. Procedure This study examined a sixth and a seventh grade keyboarding class. Each class was given the identical lesson and students in both classes learned keyboarding skills on the electric typewriter. Both classes received forty-five minutes of instruction, five days a week for six weeks. At the end of six weeks, students were given a three-minute post-test. The test consisted of two paragraphs from the textbook, which contained all the letters of the alphabet.

Middle School Curriculum Philosophy Statement and Goals : The primary goal in the middle school computer science curriculum is twofold: to experience the critical thinking and problem solving that comprise the foundations of computer science and to use the computer as a tool to be utilized in all aspects of the students' educational experience. This is achieved in two ways: by computer science classes and by integration of technology into classroom curriculum. Our computer curriculum also provides a format for discussion of ethical behavior in regard to computer usage.

With an enormous computer presence in schools, the question is no longer whether to teach keyboarding but when to teach it. President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore have challenged the nation to ensure that all children are technologically literate by the 21st century. A "pillar" of this challenge is, "Modern computers and learning devices will be accessible to every student." With computers accessible to every student, most teachers and experts in education say the teaching of keyboarding is a given. But when is the best age to teach students proper keyboarding technique?

73. Computers In Classrooms Before computers, keyboard skills were taught by Typing Teachers in typing classes. Typing usually meant everything from page layout, to office etiquette http://www.ocis.net/~dturner/magazine/arcc412.htm

LEARNING TO KEYBOARD It is quite obvious that learning to use ten-fingers on a computer keyboard is a low level skill. Most teachers know that such skills are best learned in short lessons, and that the skills should be practiced over time. Research tells us, too, that practice is best when it takes place in the context of use. That many teachers continue to debate both the when and how of keyboarding lessons, suggests that the subject is still not quite understood in spite of known principles and the substantive research available. If you do have doubts about what should be done, it is worthwhile to look at the research. Before computers, keyboard skills were taught by Typing Teachers in typing classes. " Typing" usually meant everything from page layout, to office etiquette and sometimes even included a bit of bookkeeping. The course sometimes took as long as two years in a secondary school, and was taught by specialist. When keyboards became common in elementary schools, it was the secondary school typing teachers who at first insisted that specialists should really be teaching the little ones, and that if "proper techniques" were not used, that "bad habits" would surely undermine what would follow. Subsequently, research has shown that these fears were unfounded. It turns out that less than 300 minutes (50 hours) over three elementary school grades can produce students with more than sufficient keyboarding skills, skills that will have fixed ten-finger keyboarding as a habit without the much dreaded "bad habits".

74. Keyboarding - Suggested Activities Technique is extremely important in the development of keyboarding skill and must be K3 computer Awareness Interim Guide (1985). keyboard (84 Key) http://www.sasked.gov.sk.ca/docs/elemkey/suggested.html

Suggested Activities Saskatchewan Education's document A Handbook for Educators: Keyboarding provides a "starter kit" of activities beginning on page 16. The following activities are in addition to those in the above document. Develop a bulletin board display illustrating proper care and handling of the equipment (hardware) and/or software students will be using. Develop a display illustrating the basic parts of the equipment. Show a film or a video illustrating proper technique while keyboarding. High school students could model and develop the video. Demonstrate proper and improper technique while keyboarding. Technique is extremely important in the development of keyboarding skill and must be continuously encouraged. Keyboarding should not be taught sitting down but rather by moving around the room motivating and praising students. Written evaluations of students' techniques are important, but verbal encouragement and reinforcement of good technique on a daily basis will be beneficial to learners. Videotape students so they can evaluate their own technique.

Important Skills Keyboarding and Your Child Transferring Files Keyboarding and Your Child: Keys to Success Revised August, 2005 Keyboarding is an important skill for all students. Keyboarding involves using correct finger placement and building speed for optimal typing accuracy. When students develop a keyboarding proficiency at two to three times their average handwriting speed, it becomes an aid to the improvement of writing skills. It is recommended that all students begin to learn correct placement of fingers on the keyboard as soon as they begin to use the computer. However, mastery is most efficiently attained at the fifth- to sixth-grade years. We highly recommend that students master keyboarding before they enter junior high. Here are some interesting facts regarding learning to keyboard: With approximately 25 hours of keyboarding instruction, students can develop a usable keyboarding skill (two to three times their average handwriting speeds.) Frequent short lessons of 15-30 minutes a day for 4-8 weeks, followed by a weekly review period throughout the year ensure that proper techniques and skills are maintained. The optimal level of effective keyboarding instruction is the upper elementary school years, ages 10-12. At this age, students can develop outstanding keyboarding skills in relatively short periods of time, and they can readily transfer their keyboarding skills to improvement of their writing or composition skills.
