Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic produced a unique opportunity to examine undergraduate students' notetaking practices for online courses. In this large survey study (n = 584), we examined how students' notetaking changed from before to during emergency online instruction and how students used their notes during this time. Our findings suggest that students made use of the affordances of online courses—especially the availability of lecture recordings and live captions—while taking notes. We also found mixed support for students' taking and using their notes in evidence-aligned ways. Students reported that they consistently took notes and often used organizational strategies while notetaking. Yet, students also tended to take transcript-style notes and often reviewed their notes passively and at the last minute. Together, our findings offer insight into how students leverage the unique features of online learning during notetaking and paint a nuanced picture of students' notetaking strategies.

COVID-19时期的笔记：学生笔记实践在面对面教学和在线教学之间的转变

2019冠状病毒病大流行提供了一个独特的机会来检查本科生在线课程的笔记练习。在这项大型调查研究中（n = 584），我们研究了学生在紧急在线教学之前和期间做笔记的变化，以及学生在此期间如何使用笔记。我们的研究结果表明，学生们在做笔记的同时利用了在线课程的优势——尤其是课程录音和实时字幕的可用性。我们还发现，对学生以循证方式记笔记和使用笔记的支持褒贬不一。学生们报告说，他们坚持做笔记，并经常在做笔记时使用组织策略。然而，学生们也倾向于做笔记式的笔记，并且经常在最后一分钟被动地复习笔记。总之，我们的研究结果为学生如何在记笔记时利用在线学习的独特功能提供了见解，并描绘了学生记笔记策略的微妙图景。

期刊介绍： Applied Cognitive Psychology seeks to publish the best papers dealing with psychological analyses of memory, learning, thinking, problem solving, language, and consciousness as they occur in the real world. Applied Cognitive Psychology will publish papers on a wide variety of issues and from diverse theoretical perspectives. The journal focuses on studies of human performance and basic cognitive skills in everyday environments including, but not restricted to, studies of eyewitness memory, autobiographical memory, spatial cognition, skill training, expertise and skilled behaviour. Articles will normally combine realistic investigations of real world events with appropriate theoretical analyses and proper appraisal of practical implications.
