“…16 A recent study showed that hand-writing notes increases memory and ability to understand information. 17 Our visual attention is commonly restricted to precisely the point where the pen hits the paper during handwriting. 18 We must also take into account that there are different processes responsible for storing information in our short or long term memory.…”

Introduction: Proper informed consent allows patients to take an active role in their own treatment decisions and may improve treatment outcomes due to enhanced compliance. The objective was to determine if handwritten rehearsal of core and custom consent items would increase short-term recall and comprehension. Methods: Ninety patient-parent pairs were randomly assigned to two groups. After case presentation, each subject was provided 10 minutes to read a modified informed consent document. Group A received visual printouts containing the four core elements (root resorption, decalcification, pain, and relapse/retention) likely to be encountered by all patients and up to four custom elements (e.g. impacted teeth, orthognathic surgery or other case specific treatment issues). Subjects identified and wrote what the image depicted and how it could affect treatment. Group B viewed a PowerPoint presentation on all 18 elements arranged from general to specific. All participants were interviewed, and each provided their socio-demographic data, as well as completed their literacy, health literacy, and state anxiety questionnaires. The groups were compared for recall and comprehension through an ANOVA. Results: Item scoring intra-rater reliability was excellent. Subject reliability ranged from fair to substantial. There were no significant differences between Groups A and B for socio-demographic variables, except Group A had a larger proportion of subjects classifying themselves as white. The rehearsal intervention iii significantly improved recall and comprehension of the core elements (p=0.001) and improved both for the custom elements, but not significantly. For questions regarding the traditional domains of responsibility, risks, and treatment, Group B performed significantly better on treatment questions (p=0.001). Overall as anxiety increased, correct responses decreased. Conclusions: The rehearsal group improved recall and comprehension of the core and custom elements of informed consent, and as such, rehearsal and may be a more efficient method than an audiovisual presentation to provide informed consent. iv Dedicated to my family v Acknowledgments I would like Dr. Fields for all of the time and effort he gave me to develop and complete this project. I've learned a great deal of how much thought and consideration must be made in order to produce a quality research study from him. It's been wonderful to have you as a mentor and friend. Also, thank you to Dr. Johnston, Dr. Firestone, and Dr. Robinson for being on my thesis committee and contributing their ideas and knowledge in each of their personal expertise. I am also appreciative for David Heinlein's contribution and legal expertise. Sue Staples deserves a special thank you for being my research assistant, without whom, this project would not be possible. The commitment and time spent interviewing, recruiting subjects, and transcribing allowed me to see my patients in clinic! Thank you to my fellow residents for their support and comradery in completing this pro...

“…For instance, a person's keeping clear and right records for his or others' use facilitates producing ideas and participating in the meeting. Notes which provide records in hospitals to be used as a reference in patient care and long-lasting treatments can be used in courts for referring later and can sustain reliability of judicial system (Mueller and Oppenheimer, 2016).…”

This study aims to determine possible impact of note taking during reading and listening on Turkish Language prospective teachers' comprehension success. Moreover in the study comprehension scores of the groups were investigated in terms of academic score and gender variables. Study was designed in causal-comparative research. The study was conducted with 72 s graders studying at the Department of Turkish Language Teaching at Education Faculty of Hatay Mustafa Kemal University. The Comprehension Achievement Test was employed in the study to determine reading and listening comprehension achievement scores of the students. In the study, an informative text containing 640 words and named as "Childhoods of the Famous Scientists" was used. At the end of the study it was found that Listening-Note Taking groups' comprehension scores were statistically more successful than Reading, Reading-Note Taking and Listening groups. There was a positive-way relation determined between the students' comprehension scores and their academic grade point averages. And in terms of gender there was no statistically significant difference between female and male students.

“…From the above, the assumption is made that computers can indeed be used for note-taking with some level of success. However, care needs to be taken, because if one wants to engage the student's mind, notetaking needs to be cognitively challenging, with technology playing a supporting role (Ward and Tatsukawa 2003), rather than it being a distracter in class (Mueller and Oppenheimer 2016).…”

Affordances of mobile devices and note-taking apps to support cognitively demanding note-taking

Note-taking is one of the more common and ever-present learning activities that form an important part of all students' daily lives. The potential of using technology to enhance note-taking activities has recently come under the spotlight. However, while mobile technologies may be applauded for their mobility and the value they can add to students' learning experience, they could easily become a distracting factor, rather than the improvement they were intended to be. In this qualitative study, eight students volunteered to experiment with various mobile devices for a period of 6 weeks, and to share their experiences in a series of five group interviews. Information found in the literature about note-taking, combined with the students' feedback on their experiences, provided insight into how students record and process information. The affordances of mobile devices for cognitively demanding note-taking that are regarded as useful in a teaching and learning environment were also discussed in the group interviews. All the students agreed that they would not commit themselves to using only one application or device. They emphasised the fact that they used more than one device, and in some cases multiple applications on those devices, depending on their educational setting. This article gives students, lecturers and software developers insight into the affordances of mobile devices and note-taking applications (apps), in order to support cognitively demanding note-taking.
