Abstract

Note-taking constitutes both a process and an outcome that are closely associated with academic performance, reflecting the distinctive learning style of each individual. The skill of taking notes, as well as the manner in which it is practiced, is developed in direct relation to educational activities, yet it can be continuously refined and adapted throughout one's life. The diverse methods employed in recording notes reveal not only personal preferences but also the gradual evolution of these techniques over time. The present study aims to investigate the issue of student note-taking, with a focus on identifying the methods most frequently employed for this purpose. Considering that the target-group participants are engaged in initial teacher training, this topic is also of interest from the perspective of the models they will later provide to their future students. The sample consisted of 68 undergraduate and graduate students from the University of Craiova. The results of our investigation revealed that students perceive digital note-taking formats as having multiple advantages, while also reporting various difficulties encountered in the note-taking process and expressing a need for support in this area.
