| description | This study investigated the utilization of laboratory resources for the learning of word processing by business and home economics education undergraduates. The study achieved four objectives, answered four research questions and tested four null hypotheses. The descriptive research design was adopted and the study conducted in Calabar, Cross River State, Nigeria, using 505 business and home economics education undergraduates with 92 respondents sampled using convenience sampling technique. Data were analysed using simple linear regression analysis. Utilization of keyboard, monitor, printer and Microsoft Word, and learning word processing, has significant relationship. It is concluded that the learning of word processing cannot be effective without the utilization of keyboard, monitor, printer and Microsoft Word. It is recommended that business education stakeholders should contribute towards the provision of keyboard, monitor, printer and Microsoft Word in computer laboratory for acquisition of word processing skills by undergraduates. |
