Rationale
Being that we both have grown up in the midst of the digital age, we have
seen many things Evolve, develop, and go electronic; including the way students
choose to learn in the classroom. It seems that more and more students are
choosing to take notes via laptop, tablet, or smart phone, but with that said it also
appears that just as many students are choosing to stick with the more traditional
Pen and paper way of note taking as well. For our research, we have studied the
benefits that may attract students to either note taking method, as well as,
researched the cons that may cause students to Reject adopting either of the two.
mobile applications, and recorded lectures are altering classroom dynamics and
affecting the way students compose and review class notes. These tools may
improve a student’s ability to take notes, but they also may hinder learning. In an

developed in order to guide students toward the most effective ways of recording
lecture notes and include the Formal Outline Procedure, the Cornell Method, the

conducted on these methods in recent years, but may once again have potential

students who took notes on a laptop did not remember conceptual material as
well as those who took handwritten notes, though they performed equally well
when questioned about factual information. One hypothesis for this difference is
the inclination for those who type their notes on a laptop to include longer notes
and to take down information verbatim rather than through rephrasing. Other
notes demonstrated better performance than students who typed digital notes
on both factual and conceptual questions. As a result, Fink reported banning all
forms of digital note-taking, citing that, without the digital devices, students
Literature Background
These studies focused on comparing hardcopy (pen/paper) note taking
too softcopy (digital Devices) note taking. Kay and Lauricella (2011) examined the
benefits and challenges faced in a College classroom when students use laptops.
The study suggested that softcopy note taking improved Organizational skills but
enhanced student distraction. Kibum (2009) is another study that focuses on the
note taking. In this study Kibum utilized several methods including Surveys, case
Lauricella and found similarities with the benefits and disadvantages of digital
note taking. We were Able to take this information and contribute it to our own
research. Both studies helped us familiarize ourselves with some of the key issues
being integrated into the Classroom curriculum. Baird and Fisher (2005-2006)

they are able to do things like foster student engagement and enhance the overall

on how electronic devices are being used in the classroom by discussing how
professors are now integrating electronics into their teaching methods through
such things like audio pod casts and PowerPoint handouts. Through these studies

and their note taking benefits in the Classroom. We then learned how these

structured Setting, on-task usage, and off task usage. Kay proposes that while
students on the other hand, tend to conduct themselves differently while using
for other purposes in class besides note taking. With this information we decided
to focus our Research on un-structured, off task usage as our study focuses on
student behavior.
Research Methodology
Design
The researcher made use of the quasi-Experimental Design particularly Pretest
Participant
11 students. The students in the study were split into two groups: group A and
group B. Group A is the grade 11 ICT class and group B is the grade 11 ABM class
Participants were broken up into two different groups during this project
in order to test the original research question. The study took place on Sandingan

Student will take one pre-test at the beginning of unit. The purpose of this
pre-test is to see what the student previously know about the unit. At the end of
the unit, the students well take a post-test. This test will be identical to the pre-
test. The purpose at this test is to do measure the extent do what the students
learn about the unit. The two test well let us the research know if the students

After the Subject teacher finish the Lesson of Topic a posttest well be

which students learned the content of study immediately after the teaching.
The data’s collected well be compared to one another. This is to know what
