“…Then, it can be concluded that students who take notes with pen and paper perform better in comprehension test. The findings corroborate Kiewra's (1989) view that note-taking improves learning and retention, particularly if the note-taking is done using pen and paper. Kiewra (1985) mentions that note taking can be generative (e.g.…”

-With the advent of technology nowadays, taking notes by hand seems old-fashioned to most students nowadays. Typing on ICT devices (such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets), on the other hand, is preferable since it is more practical and can record more information. Note-taking (either by hand or using gadgets) is a powerful and inevitable way of learning. However, each mode of note-taking will have a different effect on students' understanding of course materials. A study by Mueller & Oppenheimer (2014) found that students who took notes by hand performed better in their learning and retention compared to those who took notes using ICT devices. The purpose of the present study was to find out whether note-taking using ICT devices affect the students' comprehension of the lecture. This study used a quasi-experimental design, with 50 English department students of Bina Nusantara University as the participants. They were divided into two groups as the control and experimental group. Participants of both groups were shown various videos from TED talks, with topics related to their majors. While watching the videos, the control group was instructed to take notes by hand, while the other group took notes using their various devices. After that, participants had to do the test regarding their comprehension of the lecture videos. The results revealed that students who made notes using handwriting performed better in comprehension test than students who made notes using their ICT devices. The findings implied that the traditional pen and paper note-taking is more effective than ICT devices in improving learning and understanding.

“…There are two ways in which note taking can affect learning: encoding and external storage (Kiewra, 1989). The encoding hypothesis suggests that the processing that occurs during the act of note taking improves learning and retention.…”

“…Not until recently has it primarily been studied in the field of educational psychology (Kiewra, 1989;Kobayashi, 2005). Making notes that lead to desirable outcomes, be they related to formal learning, informal collegial discussion or (the most important goal) good patient care is not easy.…”

In this paper we report the results of a web-based survey that was aimed at improving our understanding of therapists' attitudes towards -and adoption of -technologies designed to support medical documentation. 310 valid responses from 28 countries were analysed. The PATCH scale was used to measure attitudes towards computers in healthcare. Significant differences in PATCH scores across the included countries were identified. 36% of the respondents used only paper for notetaking whereas 52% used both paper-and software-based approaches. Negative and positive experiences of employing the software tools were analysed together with the respondents' suggestions for enhancing those tools. Overall, clinicians' attitudes towards technology-supported notetaking were encouraging, although a number of technical issues remain to be solved. Notetaking. Paper. Affordances. Clinician.

In this comparative study, an attempt was made to examine the effects of two types of listening questions and activities on the quantity of note taking of intermediate EFL learners. In so doing, the researchers selected a sample of 30 intermediate English language learners randomly assigned to two comparison groups-Multiple-choice Group and True-false Group. The instrument for data collection was note taking papers of students from which the total number of words for each language learner was calculated. Results showed that the True-false Group gained higher scores in note taking quantity as compared with Multiple-choice Group. Based on the results of this study, it is imperative that EFL teachers pay serious attention to the types of activities and questions used in class as they can have an influence on the ways foreign language learners use note taking as a learning strategy.
