The study has six major objectives. They include ascertainment of whether or not syllabic intensity, familiarity of a passage or otherwise and length of dictation have effect upon students’ performance in shorthand transcription among others. To help achieve these objectives, a total of 14 research questions were asked and 14 null hypotheses formulated for the study. Two levels of students - NCE I writing at 60 wpm and NCE II writing at 70 wpm were used. The population comprised 262 students offering shorthand in the institution and a sample of 160 comprising 98 NCE I and 62 NCE II students were used.
The instruments for data collection were 10 different shorthand passages. The instruments were validated and tested for reliability through a pilot study. The sample was randomly divided into experimental and control groups.
The two groups were taught for 4 weeks before administering tests which lasted for another 3 weeks. T-test statistic and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Six of the hypotheses were rejected and 8 not rejected. The major findings were that syllabic intensity, familiarity of a passage or otherwise and length of dictation all affect students’ performance in shorthand transcription. And based on these findings and conclusions reached, 12-point recommendations were made. They include a call for adopting syllabic intensity of 1.4 in all shorthand examinations, employment of preview as a viii teaching device to help students cope with difficulty of unpreviewed, unfamiliar passage and sustained dictations during class periods among others.
