@article{oai:kyoei.repo.nii.ac.jp:00000041, author = {Bufton, Nicholas A.}, issue = {5}, journal = {共栄大学研究論集}, month = {Mar}, note = {This article argues the case for teaching note-taking techniques to under-achieving Japanese university students. It outlines the reasons why the author believes note-taking should be taught; the process followed in introducing the initial coordinated program to encourage note-taking at Kyoei University; and the outcomes of those efforts. The survey results and other investigations reveal that there are possibly two factors influencing reluctant note-takers' behaviour. These are firstly, a lack of reinforcement concerning students' note-taking can lead to the practice not becoming habitual in under-achieving students, and secondly, that the absence of a university wide policy on note-taking and the resulting inconsistency has led some students to believe note-taking was an extra and unfair requirement.}, pages = {31--43}, title = {Implementing a Note-Taking Training Program for Under-Achieving University Students : The Process and Problems Encountered}, year = {2007} }
