コンピュータ不安の低減に及ぼすキーボード教育の効果

Former studies have claimed that feeling uneasiness of operating computer was consisted of three factors, i.e. 1) tension or anxiety factor 2) approach-avoidance factor 3) competence factor. The purpose of this study was to decrease them by practice of keyboard typing for college students. Revised Computer Anxiety Scale (CAS) was administered before and after practice session (90 min.×2 : Ex1). The practice session was emphasized on 1) operating Japanese 2) keyboard typing by using shareware soft. But the results showed that scores were indicated significantly negative shift in all factors. That results were thought to have caused by lack of practical meaning of Ex1\u27s session for students. Then, the practice session was changed at further examination (Ex2 : that was called "precedence practical session strategy"). In this session,students asked to type whole Japanese sentence (about 800 word length). After that, the keyboard practice was administered. Almost the same results was showed as Ex1. But more analysis showed that who had less experience of computer operation before learning showed more increase of anxiety in two of three factors,and that who showed stronger anxiety did not become worse. It seems that the uneasiness of computer operation shifts stronger in the beginning,then declines as more as practice
