The Mediating Effects of Note-taking Strategies on the Relations Between Problem Awareness and Academic Performance of College Students

Abstract

Abstract: In order to investigate the practical level of college students' problem awareness and note-taking strategies, the college students' note-taking were textually analyzed with the content analysis method in the study. The relationship among problem awareness, note-taking strategies and academic performance of college students were examined as well. The results indicate that: 1) The current situation of college students' problem awareness, as well as the categories, frequencies and practical level of note-taking strategies could be effectively examined with the textual content analysis method. 2) Though there were advantageous preferential and variable note-taking strategies in the students' notes, their problem awareness was weak, however. Besides, students were significantly different on both the level and gender in problem awareness, note-taking strategies and academic performance. 3) College students' academic performance are positively related to both the numbers and frequency of note-taking strategies and problem awareness. Note-taking strategy numbers served as a mediator in the effect of problem awareness on academic performance. The regulation of gender was no significant in the effect of note-taking strategies level on academic performance.

Key words: problem awareness, note-taking strategies, academic performance, content analysis, college students

摘要： 基于笔记文本的内容分析法系统地考察了大学生的问题意识和笔记策略状况，以及二者与学业成绩的关系。结果发现：（1）基于笔记文本的内容分析法能有效地了解大学生的问题意识状况，以及笔记策略的使用种类、频次和实际水平；（2）大学生笔记策略种类丰富且存在优势笔记策略，但问题意识相对薄弱；在问题意识、笔记策略和学业成绩上均存在显著的水平和性别差异。（3）大学生的问题意识、策略数量、策略频次与学业成绩之间呈显著正相关，问题意识对学业成绩的影响以笔记策略数量为中介。
