dc.description.abstractThe research study is an analysis and classification of errors found in typescripts of graduating NCE (Nigeria Certificate in Education) Secretarial Students in Post-Secondary institutions in Borno and Yobe States of Nigeria. A total of one hundred and ten students constituted the study. However, twenty-nine (29) error types in accordance with the conventional error pattern category across the participating institutions were identified. The study showed that none of the errors analyzed were peculiar to particular sex, institution, or group of students. Errors in the basic knowledge and understanding and the stroking techniques were pre-dominant across all the institutions of learning involved in the study. This was strongly evident in misspelling and adjacent keystroke error types. The research study explains that the students committed errors owing to lack of keyboarding mastery, deficiency in linguistic and communication skills, and their inability to type with good basic technique. As a measure to enable our graduating NCE students to effectively handle our JSS students as contained in the Minimum Standard for Teacher Education, areas of greater emphasis should cover development of communication skill, use of teacher demonstration in teaching keyboarding skill, correct form and typewriter usage. The implications of these findings and suggestions is that teachers should be able to modify the contents of their scheme of work for typewriting instruction to incorporate materials and methods relevant to the development of both linguistic and refinement of skills. Likewise, institutions should provide the instructional media (audio-visual for the teaching and learning process.en_US
