Overview

Randomized trial compares short-term memory retention in grade 12 students using different note-taking methods, indicating digital notes may enhance recall.

Key Points

  • The study aims to examine how different note-taking methods affect short-term memory retention among students.
  • Quasi-experimental design with 25 grade 12 students
  • Participants divided into handwritten (n=14) and digital (n=11) note-taking groups
  • Data analyzed using descriptive statistics and Mann–Whitney U test
  • Digital note-taking participants had a mean retention score of 16.27 and 81% recall accuracy, compared to 11.43 and 57% for handwritten notes (U=27.5, p=0.003)
  • Strong positive correlation (r=0.83) between note quality and retention scores
  • Significant difference in short-term retention suggests digital note-taking is more effective.
