Answer: Note taking in a class being part of the listening process - remembering.
During a class lecture, a student’s takes notes of what the teacher/lecturer says - the listening process, this way he initiates a process of permanent remembrance (in his memory bank) of what is being said using his own words.
Note takings helps the student:
• Distinguish where his information is coming from, how and what he thinks about the ideas on paper.
• Useful records of key information and its sources are made (usually the teacher adds a bit of his own information which cannot be got in books or elsewhere)
• Kinaesthetic learning is used. The student makes use of his skill memory, which creates a relationship between his repeated manual writing and moment of writing in a point in time.
• Improve his concentration and listening.
• During notes taking, the selection of what to write helps increase and memory and understanding.
• Creates a data bank for examination purposes.
This way what is obtained as notes is stored in his memory and adds up to other information and data from his personal study for a future examination or test preparation.
