Psycho-pedagogical Aspects of Note Taking

Summary/Abstract: The present study approaches the issue of note-taking during the learning process. In order to identify the manner in which the students of the 9th-12th grades study individually and take notes, we have undertaken an investigative action of documentation, and of retrieving data regarding note-taking and its valorisation as a strategy of knowledge. A summary of the information thus obtained shows the students’ disorientation and their ignorance with regard to the theoretical and practical aspects of the strategy of individual study. Barely half of the students know how to combine naturally and pertinently during their individual study the notes taken during the lessons with the information found in the textbook or in other sources. Thus, a negative aspect of the learning behaviour of students is the formation of the habit of using notes exclusively. The present article also outlines the stages of efficient note-taking: in the case of taking notes after the teacher’s expose, a first stage would be active listening; if the notes are taken while lecturing a material or a book, then a first stage would be pre-lecture (diagonal reading or the scanning of the material). In both cases then follows the processing or the comprehension of the material that was lectured or heard. The next stage consists of the mental selection, organization, and systemization of the information while writing it and, in the end, its revision.
