Abstract | In order to determine whether students transcribe the same number of words regardless of the speed of the dictation, dictation tests were administered to students enrolled in beginning Gregg shorthand at the secondary level. Test batteries were administered at three different times throughout the first semester of shorthand instruction. The shorthand ditation tests were all three-minute, vocabulary-controlled tests. The first test battery consisted of two three-minute dictation tests, one each at fifty, sixty, and seventy words a minute. The final test battery consisted of three three-minute dictation tests, one each at sixty, seventy, and eighty words a minute. The findings of the study indicate that students transcribe a similar number of actual words of three-minute dictation tests regardless of the speed of the dictation. (LRA) |
