Noting As Learning Skills

“Why bother to note, is it already in the textbooks. The important thing is not understanding. "

Speech is often heard among students who were attending lectures. Either they are lazy record or really concerned with "understanding" (meaning to understand or comprehend the material dikuliahkan), which clearly they lose the benefits of record ....

Noting it would be a futile job if lecturers just write the description word for word without any active effort from the participants in college. Conversely, note can be a productive learning process if the participants know how to lecture.


Benefit note
Here are some of the benefits of record:

First, the record could be an effort to focus attention, especially if it means presenting the boring lecturer. With records, you would not want to focus on what was said.

Second, the record must be done critically. Sometimes you have to record the statement verbatim lecturer. But often times you can simply record the core-core statement, because what is described has been found in the textbooks. Note that if these explanations interesting and open horizons to be compared later.

Third, add a comment or critical notes. If there are ideas that arise while hearing lectures, note the core descriptions and add comments at his side. If there is any chance, you can submit or inquire further your thinking on the topic. Thus, your understanding of course material becomes increasingly widespread, not limited to what is in textbooks.

Fourth, do not forget to follow up. Notes will be a stack of books or paper means nothing if it is not reopened. The sooner you look back at the notes the better, because your memory is still fresh. Compare the contents of the note with the text book and pour the idea that had dawned at last lecture in more depth.

When you have to repeat content just call when faced with a quiz or exam would be easier to understand than the textbook notes, because notes are prepared on your own understanding.

This more studying 'on home computers'

Pupils are more likely to use computers for their schoolwork at home on a daily basis than they are to use them every day at school, according to a survey.
A study carried out in the UK for technology company Microsoft showed 37% of secondary pupils used computers for study every day at home.
This is a more intensive use than at school - where 30% of pupils were using computers each day.
The survey considered the computer use of 512 families with children.
The study reveals the increasingly pervasive use of technology for homework by pupils in their own homes.


Playing on the computer

Among these secondary level pupils, aged between 11 and 18, more than 90% used a home computer for schoolwork at least once a week.

And more than a third were using their family's computer for homework or revision every single day.

There have been concerns about the "digital divide" - in which children from better-off families get an advantage in school from better computer equipment at home.

The government says there are about a million children without the internet at home - leaving them at the other end of the scale from the two in five pupils who are using computers at home every day for schoolwork.

As well as using computers for homework, they have become a major feature of leisure time - identified by 71% of young people as being among their favourite activities.

Parents also use computers as a leisure activity - but at a lower level than their children - with 65% saying it was one of their favourite activities.

There is also a strong belief among parents that having a computer at home is valuable to their children's education.



'Essential as pen and paper'

Microsoft's Ray Fleming suggests that the higher levels of computer use at home for schoolwork by pupils is a reflection of the limitations on computer use in school.

"School use of information technology can be very scheduled - it's often structured around particular lessons," he says.

At home children look for information on the computer in a more informal way, he says.

And he forecasts that this trend for studying at home with a computer will increase.

"There is an increasing blurring between learning-time and leisure-time and so computers in the home are becoming as important as those in the classroom," he says.

The widespread availability of computers at home also raises questions about handling this information.

"There are so many sources of information, that the challenge now is not about finding information but finding the most useful questions," he says.

Earlier this month the government announced a £300m Home Access scheme to give a laptop to 270,000 low income families and free broadband access.

Children's Secretary Ed Balls said that being without the internet at home leaves pupils "at a disadvantage to their peers".

"Computers are no longer a luxury for the few, but are as essential a part of education as books, pens and paper."
