Abstract

<p>Study objectives: To evaluate the performance during a university class of a device for measuring handwriting that was developed by Yoshioka & Fuji (2019, in Japanese), and to examine influences of different lecture modes on a lecturer’s behavior and the students’ note-taking behavior, as well as the relationship between those two. Design: Experiment 1: between-subjects design; Experiment 2: within-subjects design. Setting: A medium-size classroom at a university. Participants: 26 students (10 men, 16 women) participated in Experiment 1, and 24 in Experiment 2 (6 men, 18 women). Independent variables: The use of handouts (Experiment 1) and of a whiteboard and slides (Experiment 2). Measures: Measures included the number of writing responses during note-taking that were recorded by the device, the number of letters spoken per minute by the lecturer, and the cross-correlation between the lecturer’s use of the whiteboard and the students’ note-taking. Results: Students’ writing responses during the lecture could be recorded with the device for all but 1 of the participants in Experiment 1. The cross-correlation showed that 18 of the participants in Experiment 1 took notes within 60 s after the lecturer wrote on the whiteboard. No specific changes in the measures were found to be associated with the use of handouts in Experiment 1. In Experiment 2, the pace of note-taking changed depending on the lecturer’s speaking rate. Conclusions: The device enabled feasible and reliable measurement of the students’ note-taking. Also, for the first time with this device, the relationship between a lecturer’s speaking, writing on the whiteboard, and use of slides, and the students’ note-taking behavior could be quantified.</p>
