Abstract:

This study aims at examining master's and doctoral theses, and scientific articles, which are written on note taking in Turkey, systematically and descriptively. Systematic review method was used in the research. The research to be included in the review were obtained from the databases of Council of Higher Education (YÖK) Thesis Center, ULAKBİM TR Index and Dergipark with keywords. According to the findings, 83% of the studies investigate the relationship between notetaking and variables such as academic achievement, listening skill, and retention of information in memory. 65% of the studies were conducted using experimental methods, and qualitative methods that could reveal the functioning of the teaching process and students' opinions about this process were rarely used. Many issues related to note taking such as note taking with computers, note taking in the education of individuals in need of special education, history of notetaking, cognitive psychology and note taking have been ignored. In most of the studies, data were collected from university and secondary school students. As a result, it emerges that the note taking strategy should be associated with different fields, it should be handled outside of the methods and approaches used, and data should be collected from different study groups.
