On-Board-Content Note, Note-Taking Effort, Class Interactionบทคัดย่อ
Mathematics is one of the subjects that is taught conventionally with lecture style and note-taking
is an essential strategy for learning. A Mathematics class also involves the process of reasoning and
problem-solving which requires more time for discussion. By this reason, students should be allowed to
reflect and interact with what is being taught simultaneously with transcribing notes. However, in cases
where students have poor note-taking ability, it is proposed that the said students be provided with
on-board-content note. Hence, this experimental study was conducted to examine its effects on
students’ learning outcomes in three dimensions: class attendance, class interaction and exam
performance. The study found that the class that was provided with the on-board-content note
demonstrates more amount of class interaction, while the class attendance and exam performance were
not significantly affected.
