Note This: How to Improve Student Note TakingReport · 2018Kiewra, Colliot, and Lu's 2018 report for the IDEA Center offers instructors a menu of research-based advice on student note taking; lead author Kenneth Kiewra has studied the topic since 1979. Its central number is that students record just one third of a lesson's important ideas — and they keep the wrong third: 91% of the most superordinate ideas survive, 11% of the most subordinate details do.
