记笔记对不同任务类型的影响的实证研究

An Empirical Study of the Effects of Note-taking on Different Tasks

通过调查某大学30名英语专业四年级学生的记笔记行为,试图揭示记笔记的两大功能(解码功能和外储存功能)对不同类型的任务表现(近迁移和远迁移)的影响。实验表明:记笔记与不记笔记(解码功能)对近迁移和远迁移任务表现没有显著影响,复习笔记与不复习笔记(外储存功能)对近迁移任务没有显著影响,但对远迁移任务却有显著的消极作用;还讨论了该结果对英语教学的启示,包括对考生参加含有记笔记任务的测试的指导意义等。

This study attempts to explore the influence of the encoding function and external storage function on the performances of near- transfer and far - transfer tasks. By investigating the note - taking performance of a mini - lecture among 30 senior English majors, the experiment shows that there is no statistically significant effect of the encoding function on the near - transfer and far - transfer tasks while the encoding function has a statistically significant negative effect on the far- transfer tasks yet no effects on the near- transfer ones. The findings are discussed in terms of their illumination for English hnguage teaching and they help guide the students who sit exams involving note - taking.
