Spoken Organizational Lecture Cues and Student Notetaking as Facilitators of Student Learning
Titsworth, B. Scott; Kiewra, Kenneth A.
Contemporary Educational Psychology, v29 n4 p447-461 Oct 2004
Previous research has shown that providing written organizational lecture cues boosts notetaking and that boosting notetaking raises achievement. Lecture learning literature, however, is silent on whether spoken organizational lecture cues boost notetaking and achievement. To find out, participants listened to a lecture that contained or did not contain spoken organizational lecture cues. Participants either recorded lecture notes or refrained from notetaking while listening to the cued or uncued lecture. Results showed that spoken organizational lecture cues boosted the number of noted organizational points and details by 39 and 35%, respectively. Results also confirmed that lecture cues and notetaking work to raise achievement. Notetaking resulted in about 13% higher test achievement than not taking notes. Cueing raised test achievement 15--45% versus noncueing. Educators are encouraged to use spoken organizational cues while presenting lectures.
