An Empirical Two-Group Study into Electronic Note-Taking

Abstract

Abstract:The relationship between students learning traditionally or through virtual worlds using computer-oriented tools is of keen interest. Although, the extent to electronic learning varies in great degrees from entire online environments to partial complimentary tools which differ according to their functions. The focus of this research paper is to discuss the paradigm shift from traditional means of study to computerisation, in particular relating to the area of note-taking. Research into cognitive factors associated with learning and performance including memory have put forward suggestions, which could assist the cumulative learning process. Comparative analysis between a number of note-taking techniques refined the study with the electronic adaptation of the popular Cornell method with the proposed En-AISR platform. Emphasis has been placed on the influence and significance towards the amalgamation of multi-modal features to enhance and stimulate students learning experience. A two-group study measured students learning, performance, and experience between both systems using usability criteria. Outcomes from this experiment suggest a positive influence of a multi-modal note-taking tool as a complimentary learning aid.

Conventional, Structured and "Camera-Captured" Note-taking Methods: A Comparative Analysis

“…This result implies that the three varied ways of acquiring notes have the same effect towards students' conceptual understanding on direct circuits. This is in consonance with the previous studies that showed unestablished results in comparing of various note-taking in terms of effect to student's performance (Gier, et al, 2011;Rashid & Rigas, 2010;Wilkinson, 2012). Moreover, the result is an indication that "camera-captured" notes are not detrimental to students' performance.…”

“…To add, Jackson (2015) suggests that mere reliance to digital literacy may not be enough to produce desirable students' performance as the actual process of note-taking is essential in digital notes. Moreover, the comparison of digital note-taking to other notetaking methods, in terms of effect to students' performance, is yet to be strongly established (Jackson, 2015;Rashid & Rigas, 2010).…”

Komitmen Indonesia Pada KTT G20 Arab Saudi Dan Pembangunan Nasional: Sebuah Tinjauan Komprehensif

“…Pertama, kajian ini menggunakan analisis pemetaan, yaitu metode penelitian kualitatif yang digunakan untuk mengorganisir pengetahuan melalui representasi visual (Wilson et al, 2016). Pemetaan meliputi proses penggambaran secara sistematik yang melibatkan pengumpulan data, dan fakta yang saling dihubungkan hingga memberikan pengetahuan dan pemahaman terhadap data dan fakta yang diperoleh (Rashid & Rigas, 2010). Pemetaan yang dilakukan dalam kajian ini meliputi pemetaan terhadap komitmen-komitmen para pemimpin negara pada Presidensi G20 Riyadh Tahun 2020 yang tercantum pada deklarasi.…”
