As part of a longitudinal study begun in 1985, incoming Bentley College freshmen were asked to complete questionnaires about their pre-college computer experience. Although nearly all students came from high schools with computers and more than 80% of them had studied BASIC, just under half had used a word processor. Even fewer (less than 20%) had used either a spreadsheet or a database management system, though the actual percentage has risen over the three years for which data exist. The increase in the number of schools teaching Pascal noticed between 1984 and 1985 persisted in 1986. However, though nearly 46% of the schools from which 1986 graduates came taught Pascal, only half that percentage actually studied the language. Almost half the students used computers outside school during their high school years, but most of that use involved playing games.
作为一项始于1985年的纵向研究的一部分,要求本特利学院新生入学时完成关于他们大学前计算机经验的问卷调查。尽管几乎所有学生都来自高中,他们都拥有计算机,其中80%以上的人学习过BASIC,但不到一半的人使用了文字处理程序。使用电子表格或数据库管理系统的人数更少(不到20%),尽管在存在数据的三年中实际百分比已经上升。 1984年至1985年间,帕斯卡(Pascal)注意到的学校数量持续增加,直到1986年。但是,尽管1986年毕业的学校中有近46%的学校教帕斯卡(Pascal),但实际上只有一半的人学习语言。在高中期间,几乎有一半的学生在校外使用计算机,但其中大多数使用的是玩游戏。 P>
