An experiment to compare an ability grouped class and an individualized class in Typing I on the secondary level

Abstract

Statement of the Problem: Which of two--ability grouping or individualized instruction--methods will more effectively help students meet the performance objectives for beginning typing? Need: An experiment of this nature will be beneficial to beginning typing teachers by helping them to determine methods to use in their classes. The writer feels that her teaching in future years will benefit from this experiment especially if a significant difference is found between the attainment of the two groups.
