The relationship between competency in shorthand accuracy and achievement in shorthand dictation, is studied in Part I. Results of three word-list tests of 200 words each, administered to 135 students, indicated that success in shorthand was significantly related to ability to construct accurate shorthand outlines. Part I describes a comparative analysis of the results obtained from the Gregg Shorthand method and an experimental instruction method. The results at the end of 9 months of instruction were in favor of the experimental group, which had a significantly higher dictation rate, and higher shorthand accuracy and transcription scores. An analysis of the effect of selected variables on achievement, discussed in Part III, found that: (1) Student achievement declined significantly when the length of dictation increased from 3 to 5 minutes, (2) Student achievement declined significantly when the transcription was deferred by 1 week, and (3) Students who wrote incorrect shorthand outlines in taking dictation usually did not transcribe correctly.
