碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 資訊教育學系 === 97 === Note-taking includes two processes: 1) producing process, in which students excerpt important notions by brief words or signs and 2) reviewing process, in which students revise class content through the notes. The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of applying collaborative note-taking in primary information science classes. In producing process, students were asked to take notes with the support of matrixes. In reviewing process, students were asked to revise notes by writing summaries. The forms of collaboration included co-editing and sharing. Therefore, the collaborative note-taking activities explored in this study included “co-editing notes then writing summaries” activity and “sharing notes then writing summaries” activity. In addition, this study also investigated the discrepancies of these two kinds of collaborative note-taking activities. Furthermore, to probe the effects of co-editing summaries and sharing summaries, this study take “co-editing notes then reading notes” activity and “sharing notes then reading notes” activity as control groups. Eight classes from an elementary school in Tainan County, a total of 259 sixth graders, participated in this study and were randomly assigned to four groups, a) co-editing notes then writing summaries, b) co-editing then reading notes, c) sharing notes then writing summaries, and d) sharing notes then reading notes. As the results indicate, when students participated in collaborative note-taking activity with writing summaries, those who in co-editing manner could take more notes than in sharing manner. Besides, it could be that students didn’t implement accurately in the step of writing summaries so that there is no significant difference between “collaboratively producing notes then writing summaries” and “collaboratively producing notes then reading notes.”
