Currently, lecturing dominates higher education as the most frequently used method due to certain conditions in this context. Various methods and techniques have been developed and some research studies have been carried out to help learners avoid being passive listeners in a context where lecturing is frequently used. This study aims to research how listening to different lecture types (informative, narrative and philosophical) by notetaking affects listening comprehension. The study, carried out in the Department of Turkish Language Teaching at the Faculty of Education, Cumhuriyet University, adopts an experimental design with a pretest and posttest. To analyze the data, t-test was carried out using SPSS 18. According to the results of the study, there were higher levels of comprehension for all three lecture types in favour of the participants who took notes while listening to the lectures. It is recommended that learners be trained to acquire active learning, active listening and note-taking skills.

The lecturing instruction method stands out as the most used education method in university classrooms. Students and researchers have developed study techniques to reduce the disadvantages of this method to increase success at the undergraduate level. The most important, common, and traditional of them is taking note. The verbatim notetaking, which is widely used outside of the lesson, is seen as well as it is also seen that the note takers take it by generating them in their own way. With the development of technology in the notetaking process, it is seen that digital tools have become widespread in addition to the pen. In this study, the effects of generative and verbatim taking notes on success and its persistence were examined. The study group of the study consists of 116 education faculty students studying in Turkish and Social Sciences education programs. Within the scope of the research, demographic information will be presented to the participants in a way that does not violate personal privacy; In the analysis of the opinions, utmost attention was paid to the rules of scientific and research ethics, assuring that the participants will be coded in a way that does not evoke identity information. A pre-experimental study was conducted with four groups of 29 students. The groups made the verbatim and generative note taking with pen and keyboard. The first and second post-tests were applied to measure the success of taking notes during the lesson and its persistence. According to the results of the study, it was determined that taking notes with a pen by the generative method has more positive effects than using the keyboard or taking verbatim notes on both success and persistence.

Identity refers to all the characteristics that "specify who we are and also how we see other people" and is formed with the accumulation of our own experiences and those from social life with regard to certain roles like professional, political or parental roles. Some of the characteristics of identity that determine and describe professional part of identity are regarded as professional identity. Professional identity emerges as a result of condensation of individuals' own or society's perceptions around various themes. In this study we aimed to examine how language teachers develop their professional identity from earlier ages to university years. The study group is composed of 18 teacher candidates, 8 of whom are from the department of Turkish language education and 10 attend elementary education department. Data gathered by interviews and analyzed by discourse analysis. According to the findings, while the identity conveys imaginary properties in childhood, it becomes realistic later. Considerable number of students chooses their area of professions with compulsory-mostly negative-conditions.
