记笔记是一种看似简单的学习策略，但作为学习者生成内容的来源，其感知的有效性因学科和学生而异，因为并非所有学生都能够在没有指导的情况下创建高质量的笔记。虽然教师经常提倡使用笔记作为考试辅助工具（无论是否用于开卷考试），但这是一种引发争议的教学实践，但也有研究认为使用学生创建的提醒表是合理的，因为学生必须回顾材料才能组织和创建学习辅助工具。通过积极开发公式表或其他学习辅助工具来准备考试，可以帮助学生学习，即使他们没有意识到他们正在学习。我们想建议，从课堂笔记中创建成功的学习辅助工具的过程建模是一种包容性的做法，可以改善表现不佳的学生的成绩，并增加他们的代理。无论是通过分享例子还是促进信息的综合，为笔记制作脚手架都可以让所有学习者都能做更高质量的笔记。我们提供了三个不同课程的例子，其中教师以不同的方式采用这种方法，我们为其他有兴趣在自己的课程中使用这些资源的教师提供了一套最佳实践。
Note taking is a seemingly simple study strategy, yet as a source of learner-generated content its perceived effectiveness varies across subjects and from student to student, as not all students are able to create high-quality notes without guidance. While often advocated by the instructors, the use of notes as exam aids (whether used in open-books exams or not) is a pedagogical practice that has invited some controversy, but there are studies that justify the use of student-created reminder sheets by acknowledging that students must review the material in order to organize and create their study aids. Preparing for exams by actively developing formula sheets or other study aids assists students in studying, even if they are not consciously aware they are studying. We would like to suggest that modeling the process of creating successful study aids from class notes is an inclusive practice that leads to improved outcomes in low-performing students and increases their agency. Creating scaffolds for note taking, whether through sharing examples or prompting synthesis of information, allows for higher-quality note taking across all learners. We provide examples from three separate courses in which the instructors took this approach in widely different ways, and we offer a set of best practices for other instructors interested in using these resources in their own courses.
