워드프로세서 실기시험에서 한손 사용 장애인 응시자의 정당한 시험시간 제공에 관한 연구 = A Study on Reasonable Trial Term about Word-processor Qualifying Examination for Person with One-handed Disability

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study made an investigation concerning the extra time allowed for the convenience of the people with a disabled hand who are taking word processor qualification examination, one of IT qualifying examinations. Then an experiment was conducted to determine whether it is proper to allow longer extra time for them. The experiment involved the one-handed and two-handed typing training of the same participants, followed by testing the participants’ typing proficiency, so as to find out approximate difference in the number of keystrokes between one-handed typing and two-handed typing. The results of the experiment were combined with the analytical result of available mock word processor tests to deduce the proper time that is actually necessary for one-handed typing. Then the deduced proper time was compared with the time that is currently allowed for people with a disabled hand. It was revealed that the typing speed of people with a disabled hand was about 32.6% of that of normal people, indicating that an about 50% extra time should be allowed for people with a disabled hand. Currently only a 33% extra time is allowed for them, and this difference in extra time can exert a significant effect on pass rate. Thus this study demonstrated the necessity of allowing longer extra time for people with a disabled hand than the current 33% extra time.

IT 자격시험 중 하나인 워드프로세서 자격시험을 한손 장애인이 응시할 경우에 제공되는 편의시간에 대하여 조사한 후, 추가 제공시간이 타당한지에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 연구는 동일인이 양손타수와 한손타수 연습 후 타자검정을 통하여 어느 정도의 타수 차이가 발생하는지를 실험하였고 실험결과를 실제 워드프로세서 모의문제 분석결과에 대입하여 실제 시험시간을 도출하여 비교분석하였다. 한손장애인은 비장애인에 비해 약 32.6%의 타자속도를 가질 수 있어 약 50%의 추가 시간이 필요한 것으로 파악되었다. 이는 합격률에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있어 현재 제공되는 33%의 추가시간보다 더 많은 시간이 필요함을 증명하였다.
