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.
