Lexical Analysis of Student’s Learning Activities during the Giving of Instructions for Note-Taking in a Blended Learning Environment

Abstract

 Abstract—Note-taking activity affects student's learning performances in blended learning courses, which consist of face-to-face sessions and online learning materials. To promote the effectiveness of note-taking, a lecturer gave students instructions during the course. According to the results of a lexical analysis of the contents of notes taken by students, the lecturer's instructions had a significant effect on some of the indices of features of notes taken. This effectiveness can be observed when the lecturer gives instructions as opposed to not giving them. Also, the relationships between student's characteristics and indices of features of content of notes taken were analyzed.
