A new study shows students who write notes by hand during classes perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本).
Students are increasingly using laptops for notetaking because of speed and legibility(清晰度).But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and use the concepts(概念) they have been taught.
Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop is more likely to make notes "mindlessly" by taking down word for word what the teachers said.
In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same classes and were told to use their usual notetaking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts. The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the laptop users performed worse at remembering and using the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.
In another experiment aimed at testing longterm memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the class. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed much better on the exam.
These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to a better performance in the future.
