This study examined the impact of the Livescribe™ Symphony Smartpen assistive technology and the Cornell notetaking strategy on the lecture comprehension and quality of written notes of college student-athletes with learning disabilities. The study was conducted with five student-athletes who have documented learning disabilities over a 10-week period in a personal and community health undergraduate course at a public university located in southeast Virginia. Data were collected using immediate free recall exercises, comprehension tests, students' notes and rubric, and students then completed a notetaking experience survey. Overall, individual scores on the comprehension test increased from the pre-intervention (M=7.60, SD=2.61) to the post-intervention phase (M=10.4, SD=3.65). The students' free recall exercise scores also increased from the pre-intervention (M=6.00, SD=1.58) to the post-intervention (M=7.60, SD=4.04) phase. Participants rated their notetaking experience as having a positive impact on their ability to comprehend lecture material. The highest positive ratings identified that the Cornell notetaking strategy helped them to organize main ideas of their lectures easier. Previous notetaking research identified notetaking efficiency as a challenge for students with students only recording between 20 to 40% of main concepts presented during a lecture (Kiewra, 1985). Results of the notetaking experience survey revealed that students felt that the Livescribe™ pen made it easier to take notes during lectures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
